All Pokémon Go Tour: Johto event-exclusive Special Research paths, tasks, and rewards

Pokémon Go Tour: Johto is here, which means players are going to be reliving their original journeys through the second generation of the popular franchise, or experiencing Johto for the first time, through Pokémon Go. 

This includes every Pokémon native to the Johto region being available as a Shiny Pokémon and players choosing their path by selecting either Gold or Silver once their adventure begins on Feb. 26. 

And not only does the choice of version impact which Pokémon you’ll encounter, but once you choose your starter, there will be a slight shift in the rewards you receive from the event-exclusive Special Research. 

So before you start your journey, here are all of the tasks and rewards you’ll encounter along the way as you work to complete the Pokémon Go Tour: Johto Special Research.
