Pokemon Go Ultra Unlock 2020 Timed Research Tasks Guide
Here's what these Dragon-themed tasks ask you to do!
During Pokemon Go Fest 2020, players around the world worked together to complete a series of in-game challenges. There were 32 challenges available to complete on Day 1 of Go Fest, and players were told that if they completed at least 24 of them, they’d unlock three “Ultra Unlock” events that would take place later in the year.
The community successfully completed the required number of global challenges, and the first of the three Ultra Unlock events -- Dragon Week -- is now live!
Dragon Week will run from July 31 at 1 p.m. PT until August 7 at 1 p.m. PT. During this event, Pokemon like Horsea, Dratini, and Trapinch will appear more frequently than normal in the wild, and Rayquaza will appear in Tier-5 Raids (among other features). For a complete look at this Dragon Week event, check out our previous coverage.
