All Lovely Wishes Timed Research tasks and rewards for Pokémon Go Valentine’s Day 2023

Pick the path you love.

It is time for the annual Pokémon Go Valentine’s Day event, which means there are a few themed Pokémon making an appearance and new Timed Research is available with tasks to complete and rewards to claim.

The main pull for this event will be the debut of Mega Gardevoir in Mega Raids, along with a handful of new Shiny Pokémon being added to the game—including Frillish, Heart Trim Furfrou, and Tapu Lele. 

Running from Feb. 8 to 14, players will see plenty of Pokémon themed around love, flowers, and the color pink appearing more frequently. This includes additional encounters through event-exclusive Field Research and Timed Research. There is even a Global Challenge for players to complete together too. 

So if you plan on taking part in the Pokémon Go Valentine’s Day event, here are all of the Lovely Wishes Timed Research tasks and rewards, along with all of the additional bonuses too.
