Pokémon Go Yamask Research Day Timed Research Guide

To help get players into the Halloween spirit a bit early, Pokémon Go is hosting a Yamask Research Day that will let players capture plenty of the Spirit Pokémon in a very limited timeframe. And, just like with most other special events, the Yamask Research Day comes with multiple pieces of Timed Research for you to complete. 

Running on Oct. 19 from 2 to 5pm local time, the Yamask Research Day features several Pokémon appearing with boosted spawns. The main event, however, is the various event-exclusive Research, which will let you encounter both Unovan and Galarian Yamask by completing simple tasks.

During the event period, all players will have access to Field Research—free Research tasks that are available to claim by spinning PokéStops. In addition to that, a paid, $2 event ticket will net you Yamask Premium Timed Research, which will give you even more Yamask encounters as you complete the Field Research.

Since this is a limited-time event for the Max Out season, here is a full list of every task and reward for the Field and Timed Research, along with a list of every Pokémon that is spawning more frequently during Yamask Research Day. And remember, every Yamask you encounter during this event has an increased chance to be Shiny!
