Pokemon Go Galar Calling Special Research tasks & rewards

The start of Pokemon Go’s new season has brought with it a new Special Research called Galar Calling.

Max Out is finally upon us, and unsurprisingly, Niantic has introduced a new season-long Special Research to celebrate the introduction of new Galar Pokemon and Dynamax.

This set of Special Research tasks asks Pokemon Go players to make the same decision that Sword and Shield players had to make at the start of that game between Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. That choice has a slight impact on the tasks you’ll need to complete.

Here are all of the Galar Calling tasks so far, as well as the rewards you’ll get for completing them.

How to complete the Galar Calling Special Research

Niantic/The Pokemon Company

The first step of the Special Research is the same for all trainers, but after that, it branches depending on which Galar starter you choose.

Currently, only the first four pages of tasks are available. The rest will release as the season goes on.
