In Pokémon GO the special research with Meloetta, the Melody Pokémon, starts for the GO Fest 2021. Here we show you all the tasks and rewards of the new research.
Who gets the research? Players who purchased a ticket for the GO Fest 2021 in Pokémon GO will receive the special research with Meloetta starting Saturday (July 17) at 10:00 AM. If it is not activated for you, you should restart the app.
Here we provide an overview of all the tasks and rewards that you will receive through the research. This way, you can easily see when an egg is supposed to hatch or when you need to complete tasks like “use incense”.
