All Pokémon Go April Fool’s Day: An Excellent Opportunity Timed Research tasks and rewards

Pokémon Go’s special April Fool’s Day prank this year is entirely centered around making any Nice or Great Throw count as an Excellent Throw. This plays into the new “An Excellent Opportunity” Timed and Field Research you can complete only on April 1. 

Getting an Excellent Throw in Pokémon Go is a bit tough if you don’t have experience nailing the timing, so this April Fool’s Day event is a great way to wrack them up if you have unfinished Research tasks that require those throws. The An Excellent Opportunity event, which only runs on April 1, will include multiple pages of Timed Research and Field Research built around different throw types too.

The only event bonus for the April Fool’s Day An Excellent Opportunity event is every Nice and Great Throw registering as Excellent Throws. The rest of the event is just focused on Research tasks—and Spinda encounters through Field Research specifically.
