Pokemon Go : A Challenging development special research tasks and rewards

Team Go Rocket made their entry to the game in July 2019, and their addition was well appreciated by all Pokemon Go fans. Team Go Rocket Grunts invaded Pokestops with Shadow Pokemon. Players were required to defeat Shadow Pokemon and save them with the process called Purification.

The process of Purification required a certain amount of Candy and Stardust. Well, last month, Team Go Rocket leaders made their entry to the game, along with Team Go Rocket Boss, Giovanni.

Players were required to defeat all Team Go Rocket leaders and complete four stages of Looming in the Shadows to encounter Giovanni.

Well, for this month, a new Special Research has been included in the game, and it is the part of Team Go Rocket’s research. Mentioned below are the first two stages of Pokemon Go, A Challenging development special research, along with their corresponding rewards.
