All Pokémon Go Astral Eclipse Special Research tasks and rewards

It is time to sunset the Season of Light in Pokémon Go. Niantic is sending the latest installment of mostly Alola-based content off with one last hurrah featuring Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts. 

This final Astral Eclipse event will finally allow players to complete the season-long Cosmic Companion Special Research and evolve their Cosmog fully into their choice of either Solgaleo or Lunala. In addition, most of the Pokémon spawning more frequently during the event are tied to the sun and moon. 

Not only that, but new Solgaleo and Lunala clothing options have been added to the store and a set of themed Collection Challenges will be available to complete for additional rewards. 

If that isn’t enough, the new Ultra Beast Arrival event will also run during this event on Nov. 27, giving players a chance to encounter several Ultra Beasts one more time before the season ends. So if you want to clear your solar calendar before that happens, here are all of the Research tasks and rewards available during Pokémon Go’s Astral Eclipse event.

All Pokémon Go Season of Light ‘A Cosmic Companion’ Special Research tasks and rewards

Unlike previous events, the entirety of the Astral Eclipse event’s Special Research is tied to the end of the Season of Light’s longer “A Cosmic Companion” Research set. This means you will need to complete all 12 pages to finalize everything, but you can get Solgaleo or Lunala earlier than expected.
