  • Collection Challenge: Completing this challenge will result in 15,000 XP, 15 Ultra Balls, and an encounter with Rockruff. Rockruff is so far Gym/Egg-exclusive which gives it a higher Shiny rate, so this is a pretty cool reward.
  • Special Research: Those who completed the previous four Season of Alola Special Researches focused on the four Island Guardians of Alola will unlock a new Research that is customizable. Niantic describes it as such:
    • Trainers can choose between Melemele Island, Akala Island, Ula'Ula Island, and Poni Island adventures to enjoy different tasks and rewards based on their selection[…] Tickets to access the end-of-Season Special story will also be available in the shop for $4.99 USD (or equivalent pricing tier). Trainers who obtain the end-of-Season Special Research story by completing the four individual Special Research paths will be able to purchase the ticket in the shop for additional rewards.
  • Evolution bonus: For the first time ever, we're going to be able to evolve Cubone up to Alolan Marowak. This Alolan Marowak will know the Charged Attack Shadow Bone. The ability to evolve Shiny Shadow Cubones up to Shiny Shadow Alolan Marowak is the only truly new content offered in this event.
  • Event bonuses: Double Stardust from opening Gifts.
