All Alola to Alola Special Research tasks and rewards for Pokémon Go

It is time to bid Alola to the Season of Alola in Pokémon Go, as Niantic brings the most recent season of content to a close with some new additions and a celebration worthy of the island region. 

Running from May 25 to 31, players will encounter Pokémon from across the Alola region more frequently. This includes Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini, the four island guardians of Alola, appearing in five-star raids at the same time. 

As players relive their memories of adventuring around Melemele, Akala, Ula’Ula, and Poni Islands, they will have access to different tasks and rewards based on those locations, which ties into the end-of-season Special Research story.

For players who didn’t finish the various islands’ Special Research stories before this event, they can unlock the end-of-season Special Research story through a $4.99 ticket available in the shop. This will also provide players who did complete all of the other Special Research additional bonuses if they purchase it. 

Regardless of which path you decide to take before leaving Alola, here are all the research tasks and rewards for the Alola to Alola event, including the variations given through branched choices.
