Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto Special Research Tasks Guide
Shiny Ditto!
Trainers, the Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto event is finally here in Pokemon Go!
As part of this event, players who have purchased a ticket can complete a new series of Special Research tasks that reward them with a variety of fun in-game items, like Mewtwo Candy, an Egg Incubator, and even an encounter with Shiny Ditto!
While these Special Research tasks are associated with the one-day Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto event, you don’t have to complete them in a single day. On the Pokemon Go support website, Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, said players do not have a time limit for completing these Special Research tasks.
According to The Silph Road subreddit, here’s what these Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto Special Research tasks ask you to do, and the rewards you’ll receive for completing them.
Before we begin, please note that these Special Research tasks will vary slightly, depending on whether you chose the Red or Green version of the Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto ticket. According to The Silph Road subreddit, if you chose the Red ticket, you'll receive a Charmander encounter and Charmander Candy as you complete these tasks. If you chose the Green ticket, all tasks and rewards related to Charmander in these tasks are replaced with Bulbasaur.
