Reddit user SSNym shared their struggles with completing page 8/9 of the Let’s Go Meltan Special Research, as they are stuck on the objective to catch two Omanyte or Kabuto. They said that they were “embarrassed” to admit that they are still stuck on the quest, but judging by the comment section, they are certainly not alone.

There are otherPokemon GOplayers struggling with the very same objective, while others are stuck on different parts of the Let’s Go Meltan Special Research quest. For example, one commenter revealed that not only do they still need to catch another Omanyte or Kabuto, but they also still need to catch two Lileep or Anorith. Other players said that they were still stuck on Page 3 of the quest, which requires them tocatch a Ditto.

I’m still stuck on catching a ditto. Don’t be embarrassed.
