Research tasks with Squirtle: There are special Squirtle quests specifically for today’s event as research tasks. These are available at PokéStops during the event time from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. As a reward for these quests, you get a meeting with sunglasses Squirtle.
Which quests yield Squirtle? PokéStops give you the research task “Catch 5 Squirtle” – which then rewards you with a meeting with sunglasses Squirtle.
How frequently are the new quests? Some trainers have already participated in the Community Day with Squirtle in their region. They report that the Squirtle quests are distributed almost 100% at stops as research tasks. There are only a few stops that do not distribute the Squirtle research during the event.
