The latest season of Pokemon GO, Season of Light, has just kicked off today, and players already have new Special Research to work through that involves the Legendary Pokemon, Cosmog. The Cosmic Companion questline has several steps to it, and this guide will show players all the tasks and their rewards. However, the post will be updated as more steps are revealed from Niantic as the Season of Light continues for the next few months.

Pokemon GO's A Cosmic Companion Steps 1 through 7 are available in the game now, and the next ones should go live on November 23. There's no telling just how many parts this questline will have, so players will just have to wait and see.

Steps 8-12 are now available for players to complete, and now, Cosmoem can finally be evolved into its final form of Lunala and Solgaleo.
