All Small Yet Strong Timed Research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

Make the most out of the tasks.

The Small Yet Strong Pokémon Go event is here, and with it, a host of new Timed Research tasks have arrived to give you some extra rewards for trainers looking to make the most of this mini-in-game event, with some unique challenges on offer.

Most of the event is focused on Nymble, which is getting its Shiny debut in-game from Feb. 5, 10am local time. The event ends on Feb. 8, so you only have three days to complete every limited task on offer and claim the rewards.

And yes, like with other Pokémon Go events, there are no increased odds of finding a Shiny Nymble in-game for its debut, so you’ll need to have a lot of luck actually to find one.

All players can access free Small Yet Strong timed research tasks for this, even with most of the rewards being Nymble and the tasks asking you to catch Pokémon or play the game normally. Nothing really stands out as too difficult, and most trainers will complete the tasks on the first day of the event.

The extra Nymble rewards don’t have any increased Shiny odds, but if you are lucky, one might appear.
