Pok¨Śmon Go Small Yet Strong quest steps, research tasks and Collection Challenge
Shiny Nymble arrives in Pok¨Śmon Go.
Small Yet Strong makes it easier to catch both XXS and XXL Pokémon in Pokémon Go. It also marks the true release of shiny Nymble and Lokix into Pokémon Go after their momentary accidental release last year.
While you're hunting down shiny Nymble, you can also complete the Small Yet Strong Timed Research quest and the Small Yet Strong Collection Challenge. As with any Pokémon Go event, there's also a selection of event-exclusive research tasks to complete.
Let's take a look at the Small Yet Strong event, so you can start catching Nymble and an awful lot of Burmys.

'Small Yet Strong Timed Research' quest steps in Pokémon Go
Small Yet Strong Timed Research is, unsurprisingly, part of the Small Yet Strong Pokémon Go event. Thanks to this, you must complete this quest before 8pm (local time) on Saturday 8th February passes. Not doing so will see both the quest and rewards disappear. This will even happen if you've completed the challenges it laid forth, but haven't claimed the rewards.
Below you'll find all of the Small Yet Strong Timed Research quest steps and research tasks in Pokémon Go.

Everything we know about Small Yet Strong in Pokémon Go
Small Yet Strong is running until 8pm (local time) on Saturday 8th February in Pokémon Go. As the name hints at, one of the bonuses currently live is an increased chance of encountering both XXS and XXL Pokémon in the wild, which is great if you want to make progress towards their specific medals. You'll want to be catching Pokémon too as the double catch XP bonus - also known as the best Pokémon Go bonus - is currently live too! Now is the time to make some progress towards levelling up!
Small Yet Strong marks the release of shiny Nymble in Pokémon Go. If you manage to catch this shiny little bug, then you'll be able to evolve it into a shiny Lokix. This marks the proper, official, release of shiny Nymble and Lokix after they were available for a short period of time last January (apparently by accident).
