Tasks & Rewards For Jump-Start Research In Pokémon GO

The Five-Year Anniversary Event is now live in Pokémon GO. One of the many features of this ten-day event is the return of the Jump-Start Research for trainers who have not been able to gain access to this questline in the past. This Special Research is well-worth doing, as it can help newer trainers get caught up and includes a guaranteed Shiny Eevee encounter.
