All Pokémon Go Out to Play: Tails of Adventure Special Research tasks and rewards

Hit those Routes running.

Pokémon Go is really trying to push players to try out the new Routes feature and the Out to Play event is focused entirely on incentivizing it.

Recommended Videos

Niantic is doing this by adding new research to complete, featuring Pokémon that fit the theme, and more to get you walking.

Throughout the Out to Play event from Sept. 27 to Oct. 2, you can find a number of Pokémon you will want to encounter in the wild and through hatching event-exclusive Eggs while walking Routes. This includes Hisuian Growlithe, which is available in 2km and 7km Eggs and can be Shiny for the first time. 

Other featured Egg hatch Pokémon include the Hisuian variants of Voltorb, Qwilfish, and Sneasel alongside Larvesta, Wimpod, and Lechonk. Pawmi, Feebas, and Eevee are among the Pokémon spawning more frequently in the wild too, which means this is a great chance to work toward evolving them. 

There are also two different sets of research available to complete, both themed around exploring your surroundings.
