Pokémon Go is celebrating its sixth anniversary, sprucing up its annual Anniversary event with some new encounters, event-exclusive raids, and new Timed Research that will give fans plenty of goodies on their way out of the party.

Since this is the sixth anniversary, Anniversary Event 2022 focuses on bringing players closer to some of their favorite Pokémon, namely every starter currently available in Pokémon Go

This includes a specific emphasis on Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard, which are not only among the most popular Pokémon, but Charizard is also registered as the sixth Pokémon in the Pokédex. Throughout the event, which runs from July 6 to 12, that evolutionary line will appear wearing party hats, along with a new Cake Costume Pikachu and Pansear. 

Around all encounters during the sensational six-themed celebration, players will also have event-exclusive and Timed Research to complete. Here are all the research tasks and rewards involved in both sets.
