Pokémon GO: The Melody Pokemon Special Research Tasks (& Rewards)

The Melody Pokemon is a new Special Research introduced in Pokemon GO. This guide will show players every task and reward for completing it. Pokemon Go recently celebrated its Go Fest event around the globe. During this time period, players were able to purchase a premium ticket to unlock exclusive rewards. Niantic even set up specific locations around the globe where players can take photos and interact with other players. Go Fest came along with its own Special Research for players to complete. The Melody Pokemon is broken up into 11 different stages for players to unlock. This guide will show players everything they need to do for this Special Research.

The Melody Pokemon Special Research is centered around Go Fest’s musical festival theme. At the end of it, players will be able to capture their own Meloetta, a legendary Pokemon from the Unova region. Even in Pokemon Black and White, where Meloetta made its debut, it can be incredibly difficult to come across normally. Now, players are given a chance to add it to their collection from this mobile title. Here is every Special Research Task and reward for the Melody Pokemon.
