Niantic are holding a two week long Hoenn event in Pokemon Go. The generation 3 themed event brings specific Hoenn field research tasks and Hoenn event raid bosses.

Hoenn Field Research Tasks

First introduced in April 2018, field research has been a popular activity for Pokemon Go players. They give you specific goals and reward you in the form of an encounter with a usually rare Pokemon.

Special events bring their own specific field research tasks. The Hoenn event is no different. The following special tasks have been added for the duration of the event which runs from January 15 to January 29. Additionally, the rewards for completing them are listed alongside.

  • Evolve 3 Wurmple – Trapinch encounter
  • Hatch 2 Eggs – Nosepass encounter
  • Catch 10 Zigzagoon or Taillow – 1,000 Stardust
