All Pokémon Go City Safari: Barcelona Special Research tasks, rewards, and event bonuses

Niantic’s next Pokémon Go City Safari event is now live in Barcelona, giving players a new way to experience the city from Oct. 13 to 14 with content like exclusive Special Research and an event-exclusive Eevee. 

Whether you purchase a ticket to the in-person festivities or not, there will be content for everyone to enjoy like a chance to capture Skiddo, which is only spawning during City Safari 2023 events for now. However, if you buy a ticket you will get to encounter Eevee wearing an explorer hat and help Professor Willow with some research. 

If you play your cards right, you can even get enough of those event-exclusive Eevee to evolve one into each of its evolutions—giving you all of the Eeveelutions wearing an explorer hat. But you will need to complete the City Safari: Barcelona TImed Research to do that, so we have compiled 

All Pokémon Go City Safari: Barcelona Special Research tasks and rewards

City Safari: Barcelona 2023 page one

• Spin a PokéStop or Gym in Barcelona
  • One Incense

Total Reward: One Poffin and an Eevee (Explorer Hat) encounter

City Safari: Barcelona 2023 Branched Choice

Unlike some Special Research options that will have you pick between a few choices and then give you different rewards based on that decision, City Safari: Barcelona simplifies things for you. 

Between double Incense, Star Piece, or Lucky Egg duration, all you need to do is pick the bonus you like the most and it will last for the rest of that ticketed session—so up between 10am and 6pm CEST. So if you want more encounters, Stardust, or XP, select that respective option and get to grinding while you can. 

This choice won’t impact any of your research tasks or rewards.
