Pokémon GO: Wild Area Special Research Tasks and Rewards
The Wild Area Global event in Pokémon GO has launched, bringing new special research tasks and rewards for trainers. The event introduces the GO Safari Ball, which players can obtain by completing the Throw Wild quest. This questline is straightforward, but expect to walk quite a bit to complete it.
Completing Throw Wild Special Research
The Throw Wild Special Research consists of two main parts. Completing these tasks grants trainers access to the GO Safari Balls, along with experience points (XP) and Stardust. These tasks are as follows:
Part 1: Basic Tasks
- Spin three PokéStops or Gyms: Earns 1,000 Stardust and 1,000 XP.
- Catch 10 Pokémon: Rewards include 3 GO Safari Balls and 1,000 XP.
Part 2: Advanced Tasks
- Catch three Pokémon using GO Safari Balls: Awards 1,000 Stardust and 1,000 XP.
- Catch three Mighty Pokémon: Provides 1,000 Stardust and 1,000 XP.
The most challenging aspect for trainers is catching Mighty Pokémon. These new additions stand out with a yellow aura and are always XL or XXL size, making them tough to capture. Utilizing your GO Safari Balls will be crucial in successfully capturing these formidable creatures.
Hourly Research and Additional Tasks
Upon completing the Throw Wild quest, players can engage in hourly research to replenish their GO Safari Balls. For those interested, a $2 weekend ticket unlocks further research tasks with extra rewards:
- GO Wild Area Hourly Restock: Provides 10 GO Safari Balls.
- GO Wild Area Extra Access Timed Research: Offers 2 GO Safari Balls for completion.
Making the Most of the Wild Area Event
This event features a variety of activities, including different raids and other offerings. Trainers are encouraged to explore these opportunities to maximize their experience during the event.
Understanding Mighty Pokémon
Mighty Pokémon are a new type of Pokémon introduced during this event. Unlike regular Pokémon, these have unique features, such as a yellow aura and larger sizes. They pose a greater challenge to catch, but successfully capturing them can be rewarding.
Conclusion
The Pokémon GO Wild Area event provides an exciting opportunity for trainers to engage in new challenges and earn rewards. By completing the Throw Wild Special Research, trainers can access the GO Safari Balls and encounter the newly introduced Mighty Pokémon. With additional hourly research and exclusive tasks available, there’s plenty to explore and enjoy throughout the event.
