Pokémon GO is celebrating its 6th birthday today, on July 6th, and is bringing you a new limited research for the anniversary event. We at MeinMMO will show you what tasks and rewards await you and how you can secure Rotom.
What kind of research is this? In Pokémon GO, the 6th birthday of the game is being celebrated in full swing, which is why Niantic is hosting a special anniversary event. In addition to numerous spawns and bonuses, you can also look forward to limited research.
You can find this in the “Today” view of the game. As you may know from past events, these quests, unlike special researches, are only available for a limited time. In this case, you have until the end of the anniversary event to complete them. Also, keep in mind that you must collect your rewards in time so that they do not expire.
How long does the anniversary event last? The birthday event of Pokémon GO runs from July 6, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time until July 12, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time.
Limited Research for the Anniversary Event – All Tasks
Where is the information from? Since the event for the 6th birthday of Pokémon GO has already started in other parts of the world due to time differences, these trainers can already complete the limited research. The content is therefore shared on social media.
The limited research for the anniversary event consists of a total of 6 panels, each with 6 tasks. The tasks are very diverse, ranging from catching to interacting with your buddy, taking photos to battling. As a grand finale of the quests, you can look forward to an encounter with Wash Rotom.

What kind of Pokémon is Rotom? The Pokémon Rotom originates from the 4th generation of games and is able to change its appearance and its second type to different forms. It visually takes on the appearance of various electronic devices.
In the limited task, you can encounter Wash Rotom, which is Electric and Water type. Although this Pokémon is not new to the game, it can only be caught during specific events, making it correspondingly rare.
