Pokemon Go Global Research Challenges to Bring Shiny Legendary Beasts and Special Bonus

Trainers, a new Global Challenge event was announced by Niantic, on three different dates and with different challenges and rewards. We just have to work as one and unlock the special bonus.

There will be three challenges on three different dates and with different research tasks and rewards. If all three teams and the event attendees met the goals, a special Raid Day will be unlocked during the bonus week. What is even more interesting, if we finish/complete all goals, a new special bonus will be unlocked.
