To celebrate the end of Pokémon Go's Season of Alola Celebration, fans can participate in new Special Research tasks. This set of Special Research is a bit different than past events, as players will have the ability to choose which path they proceed down. The path that players choose will have an effect on the tasks and rewards that they receive throughout the end-of-season celebration.
