All Pokémon Go Noxious Swamp event-exclusive Timed Research tasks and rewards

Pokémon Go Fest 2023: New York City is underway, and with it comes the coinciding Noxious Swamp event. Running from Aug. 19 to 22, this short piece of content will run through the final in-person Go Fest of the year, add Shiny Skrelp to the game, and provide new research tasks for players to complete. 

This is actually the second straight event that Niantic has pushed live during the in-person Go Fest events going on in August, in order to give players not attending them in Osaka, London, or New York City something to bide them over until Go Fest Global on Aug. 26 and 27.

Players around the world will see an increased number of select Poison and Dragon-type Pokémon spawning in the wild and appearing in raids. This includes Skrelp, Tyrunt, both forms of Grimer, Hisuian Sneasel, Galarian Weezing, and Turtonator. 

If you are like me and aren’t attending Go Fest 2023: New York City but still want to play a bit of Pokémon Go on the weekend, dig into the event-exclusive Timed Research to grab some easy encounters and bonus Mega Energy for Salamence and Sceptile.
