To celebrate the start of a Season, Niantic always has some kind of an event. To celebrate the end of a Season, Niantic also throws an event to honor it. In short, there are always events in Pokemon Go.
The latest event that will entertain Trainers is the Alola to Alola. Beginning on May 25th, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. Trainers will have the chance to take a peek at a new Special Research story with paths to choose from. Depending on which one Trainer chooses, they will get different tasks and rewards at the end of it.
If you complete all four of the event-exclusive Special Researches by June 1st, 2022, at 9:59 a.m. local time, you will unlock a bonus Special Research Story that will let you pick between Melemele Island, Akala Island, Ula’Ula Island and Poni Island.
