Pokemon Go Fest Battle Challenge Research Tasks Guide

Trainers, the second set of Timed Research tasks leading into Pokemon Go Fest 2020 is now live in Pokemon Go! This week’s theme is “Battle,” and it focuses on battling members of Team Go Rocket.

There are three sets of three Timed Research tasks to complete from now until June 15 at 10 p.m. local time (nine tasks in total).
