Pokemon GO: All Melemele Adventure Special Research Tasks and Rewards

The Season of Alola has finally begun in Pokemon GO, and a new Special Research questline called “A Melemele Adventure” has been added to the game to kick off the new season. As the name suggests, this Special Research questline is centered around the Melemele Island of the Alola region.

Completing these Special Research Tasks is a great way to stock up on supplies for the new season, and it’s also an easy way to get guaranteed encounters with some of the new Alolan Pokemon that are making their debut in Pokemon GO this season. Some of them can even be shiny, so there’s a lot to look forward to. Here’s what you need to know about the Melemele Special Research in Pokemon GO.
