All Pokémon Go Tour 2024: Looking for the Boss Special Research tasks and version-exclusive rewards

Enemies to friends to enemies again?

If you are out enjoying Pokémon Go Tour: Sinnoh – Los Angeles, it might be time to team up with Team Go Rocket to track down Giovanni in a brand new way. This Special Research is only available to ticketed players and centers around all of the exclusive Go Tour content.

During Pokémon Go Tour: Sinnoh – LA on Feb. 17 and 18, and again for the Global event on Feb. 24 and 25, the Go Tour 2024: Looking for the Boss will be available for ticked players. This themed research can only be completed during a Go Tour event because it uses specific content exclusive to event hours, like the Habitat Rotation spawns, to progress through the varying research tasks. 

Pair this with the special Spiritomb Pokéstops and the Collection Challenges rotating with each habitat, and you have plenty of content to complete—and rare Pokémon to encounter. Just remember, your choice of Diamond or Pearl version in the other Special Research will impact your tasks and rewards, too.
