Big Pokémon Go events mean lots of different pieces of research to complete for plenty of exclusive rewards tied to the content going on. This time, Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn has sets of Timed, Special, Field, and Masterwork Research to complete. Here are all of the research tasks and rewards involved with each.

All of the content during Go Tour: Hoenn, which runs as an in-person event in Las Vegas on Feb. 18 and 19 before becoming a global event on Feb. 25 and 26, is tied to the Gen III games. Whether it be catching Pokémon from Hoenn or dealing with the new Primal Pokémon that have been added to the game, this will likely take players some time to finish.
