(WTVR) — A job is opening at Google, but if you want the title of Pokémon master, you should grab your phone and a Pokédex. Google’s map division has created what they’re calling “the most rigorous test known to man.”

In order to land the title of Pokémon master, you must search the globe on your iPhone or Android phone to catch all 150 wild Pokémon.

If you want to get started — don’t worry about talking to Professor Oak, just download the latest version of the Google Maps app, search Pokémon and “Press start.”

Time is running out. If you “Catch ’em all” by tomorrow you’ll be invited to the Googleplex for the first round of hiring. If you beat Gary and make it though, you’ll start your job this September.

Good luck or maybe just April Fool’s…
