Pokemon Go is going crazy with events with now. Finally we’re deep within the Season of Legends, which should hopefully give us plenty of legendary Pokemon worth talking about, but that also houses the current Searching For Legends event, and the upcoming Charge Up event. Yes, there are plenty of new Pokemon to catch in all of those events, in addition to this brand new set of Special Research Tasks.

In this guide we’re going to be breaking down each step in the Season of Legends Special Research, including what you’ll need to do to complete each step, and what rewards you can expect for taking part. This isn’t the most difficult Special Research task by far, but it also won’t be completed in a single day unless you know exactly what you’re getting in for.
