Tasks & Rewards For Pokémon GO's TCG Research

It's time for Pokémon GO collectors to take advantage of the Pokémon TCG and GO Fest 2021 cross-promotion. The Pokémon Center has now shipped their GO Fest 2021 items which come with a Professor's Research trading card featuring the first-ever TCG appearance of Niantic's own Professor Willow. Each Professor's Research card given with this promotion has a unique code that can be redeemed to unlock a Special Research questline in Pokémon GO.

The full tasks and rewards for the Pokémon GO and TCG Professor's Research Special Research questline are:

Unfortunately, Meltan cannot currently be Shiny in Pokémon GO. This questline, which certainly asking a lot with tasks like the Mega Evolution requirement, does seem to offer a wealth of rewards, especially on the XP front. Best of luck to everyone who got the card and is getting out there to complete this research. Hopefully, this is only the first of many collaborations between the Pokémon TCG and Niantic.
