Pokemon GO: Season of Legends Special Research

Pokemon Go Season Of Legends Special Research will allow players to complete special tasks in order to learn new discoveries about the legendary Pokemon: Therian Forme Tornadus, Therian Forme Thundurus, and Therian Forme Landorus.

These Pokemon were originally from generation V (Pokemon Black and White). Their Therian Forme is a special version of the Pokemon (similar to Mega Evolved Pokemon).

Whilst the Special Research Update Notes don't clarify whether you will be able to capture these legendary Pokemon, they do mention:

Complete this Special Research to earn Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus Candy as well as other rewards.

The Season Of Legends update is just around the corner and expected to begin on Monday, March 1, 2021, at 8:00 a.m. to Tuesday, June 1, 2021. Many new updates are planned, including new Pokemon spawns, free Remote Raid Passes, new Raid Pokemon including new Mega-Evolve versions and various other improvements.

Overall, probably not the most exciting Special Research Pokemon Go has offered. Munna is a faily common Pokemon that does pop-up from time to time (such as Valentines Day). The XP might be nice and for the most part, the challenges are not that difficult, especially if you were going to catch all three Legendary Pokemon.
