Pokémon Go Fest Shaymin Special Research Tasks and rewards

Pokémon Go Fest’s Special Research Tasks feature Shaymin, the Mythical Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. The research branches into different paths depending on what you want to focus on throughout the day, and you can even select how hard you want the tasks to be. Our Shaymin Special Research guide lists out all the tasks and rewards to unlock Shaymin.

Note that you have to buy the Pokémon Go Fest ticket for $14.99 in order to unlock this research task set. To get it, you need to own the pass and open the game on June 4. If you do this, you’ll unlock the set and you can complete it at any time.

If you want Shaymin but don’t want to pay for the pass, don’t worry — Shaymin will have another set of Special Research Tasks later this year for everyone to unlock.

Below, we list all of the Shaymin Special Research Tasks.

Rewards: 2 Razz Berries, 2 Poffins, 2,022 XP

After this point, you’ll be tasked with selecting what theme you want to complete quests for: battling, catching, or exploring. You should just pick whatever suits your playstyle and priorities for Go Fest.

We list out all the branched tasks and rewards below, so you can pick what you want the rewards for, or what will be the easiest for you to complete.
