Special Research Tasks

The Pokemon Go Valentine’s 2019 event provides three time-limited special research tasks. These tasks vary from month to month and are obtained from PokeStops.

Those tasks, and subsequent rewards, are as follows:

  • Catch 20 Luvdisc – Encounter Chansey
  • Catch Chansey – Earn three rare candy
  • 5 great curveballs in a row – Encounter Heart Spinda

There is an overlap here whereby catching Chansey, as a result of catching 20 Luvdisc, also earn you three rare candy. This is also coupled with the event’s 2x catch candy.

Shiny Pokemon

Pokemon Go events usually offer a number of shiny variants to catch. The Valentine’s event is no different.

The pink Pokemon, surprise surprise, Luvdisc, Cleffa and Smoochum are available as shinies. Interestingly, the pink love-heart shaped Pokemon turns a golden yellow in its shiny form.

Valentine’s Eggs

Feedback since the start of the event shows that the following Pokemon are in the 7km egg pool:

  • Cleffa
  • Happiny
  • Igglybuff
  • Smoochum

It’s worth noting that eggs obtained before the Valentine’s event started won’t include the increased likelihood of receiving one of these Pokemon.
