Pokémon Go has a new blend of Special Research tasks rolling out to fans this week. Players will find a variety of new tasks to complete for various special prizes. As part of the wider 36-part Throwback Challenge 2020 Niantic has added a variety of different goals. Each one sees the players having to capture certain types of Pokémon. The individual rewards within each part will grant single rewards, like PokeBalls or berries. And each set of tasks has a reward attached as well.
And just like any of the other Special Research quests in the game, you can earn really useful rewards from the Kanto Special Research in Pokémon Go. Check below for the full details on the Kanto Special Research in Pokémon Go, so you know what types to look out for and the kind of rewards you can earn.
