In Pokémon GO the Sustainability Week has started. This environmental event in April 2021 brings you new quests as field research and also a limited research. We show you here what has changed for you.
How long does the event last? The starting point of the Sustainability Week was April 20 at 10:00 AM. The event runs until Sunday, April 25 at 8:00 PM local time. After the start of the event, players from the community compiled changes that we will show you in this overview here on MeinMMO. This also includes the start of a limited research.
In Pokémon GO, there are different types of research tasks that you can complete. The limited research tasks are only available to you for a limited time. After the time expires, you can no longer complete the quests. This is different from special research or field research, which do not expire.
