Pokémon GO – Strange Rings Research Tasks and Rewards

Recommended Videos

Everyone was wondering why all of the Legendary bosses were returning to raids in Pokémon GO during GO Fest 2021 and the Strange Rings Special Research is the answer. Hoopa is the real cause, though you won’t be able to catch one just yet. Instead you have a new Special Research story to play through that will explain everything. But to get the whole story you need to complete all of the tasks and gather all of the rewards. To help, here’s the Strange Rings tasks and rewards in Pokémon GO.

Strange Rings Special Research Tasks and Rewards

Featuring just two main steps, this isn’t the toughest Special Research that Pokémon GO players have had to contend with. The rewards aren’t spectacular either, but all players will get this new set of tasks, even if they haven’t purchased the Pokémon GO Fest 2021 ticket. And the story is important, informing you why all of these Legendary Pokémon have returned to raids for Raid Day 2021. But Hoopa, the Mythical Pokémon responsible, won’t be a reward just yet. That likely will come via the Ultra Unlocks, which players are still working together to accomplish. So here’s the Strange Rings Research tasks and rewards.
