All Pokémon Go Psychic Spectacular 2023 Timed Research tasks and rewards

This is a stacked event for fans of Psychic-types.

It is time for another of Pokémon Go’s annual events to return, with the Psychic Spectacular 2023 bringing in Shiny Solosis along with a number of boosted encounters with rare Pokémon.

Available from Sept. 20 to 24, this limited event focuses solely on Psychic-type Pokémon—with all but one being available as a Shiny.

This includes the return of easily obtainable Galarian Mr. Mime, Hisuian Braviary, and Alolan Raichu through raids, while Mega Gardevoir also makes an appearance.

There aren’t many boosts associated with this event, but there are four separate Collection Challenges and new Timed Research to complete. All of these updated tasks give some very nice rewards like over 200 Mega Energy and rare encounters, but might throw a twist at you while you try to complete them.
