Niantic is organising the Rediscover Kanto event in Pokemon GO, featuring a plethora of exciting Pokemon from the classic Pokedex. This comes along with the controversial series of updates that Niantic released in Pokemon GO in April 2024.

While Pokemon GO's avatar update didn't go as planned, the biome update seems to have added a number of bells and whistles to the game. With some new backdrops and more logical spawn patterns, the biome update has definitely sparked curiosity among the fanbase. The best way to get well acquainted with the biomes is by taking part in the Rediscover Kanto event that features some biome-specific spawns. Apart from that, there are some Field and Special Research tasks as well — here is how players can complete them.

All Field Research Tasks & Rewards

The Field Research tasks are significantly easier than the Special Research ones, and it shouldn't take players long to complete them. Players can power up Pokemon by getting Stardust and candy, which in turn can be acquired by the Special Research Tasks if they are short of them.

All Special Research Tasks & Rewards

The Rediscover Kanto Special Research starts off with a few easy tasks, but towards the end things become a bit tedious. The best way to complete the special research is by exploring as much as possible during the event, using items like Incense and Lure Modules to further boost the spawn rates of the Kantonian Pokemon. The good news is that once players acquire the Special Research, it stays, so they will have a lot of time to actually complete it. Getting the Special Research is quite simple, and all players need to do is log into the game during the event.
