All Pokémon Go Rediscover Kanto Special Research tasks and rewards

Time to get catching.

Biomes have a fresh look, which means Pokémon Go is digging into some leftovers for a new event to promote it. If you like Gen I Pokémon, then get ready to grind some Special Research and enjoy all of the other Rediscover Kanto event bonuses.

Running from April 22 to May 9 at 10pm CT, the Pokémon Go Rediscover Kanto event will have a handful of Pokémon spawning more frequently in specific biomes to promote the new visual update—which might be received better than the controversial avatar changes that happened last week. A set of event-exclusive Special Research is also available to incentivize you to get out there and catch Pokémon, with multiple tasks tied to Pokémon from Kanto standing between you and incredible rewards.
