Pokémon Go Rediscover Kanto: all Research Tasks

Check out all tasks and rewards of this surprise event
Niantic

Wasn’t it supposed to be Sustainability Week in Pokémon Go right now? Yes, it sure was – but Niantic wants you to Rediscover Kanto in a surprise event lasting until May 9, 2024, even though the majority of the player base is absolutely sick of seeing Pokémon from that region with many creatures from newer locations of the series still missing from the game.

So, back to Kanto we go. Aside from some bonuses and the fact that Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur can get their Community Day moves if you evolve them during this event, it has a few Special Research and Field Research Tasks in store for you.

Here are all Pokémon Go Rediscover Kanto Research Tasks and rewards.
