Pokémon Go Fest 2024 Global A Shadowy Caper Special Research - All tasks and rewards

The Pokémon Go Fest 2024 Global event has arrived, bringing with it a Special Research ticket for participants to work their way through. This Special Research ticket, A Shadowy Caper, is a key part of the event, and anyone who purchased an official ticket will get it.

Like previous events, A Shadowy Caper holds many rewards for Pokémon Go players. You want to work through this ticket as quickly as possible, especially if you’re attempting to hunt down the special event’s avatar T-shirt or the highlight of the event, the Mythical Pokémon Marshadow. The Pokémon is making its debut during the event, and only those who purchased a ticket have a chance to catch this elusive Pokémon.

There are six unique tasks for you to complete in A Shadowy Caper Special Research ticket. You should receive this ticket at the beginning of the Pokémon Go Fest 2024 Global event, which kicks off on July 13 at 10am in your local time zone.

Thankfully for trainers, because it’s a Special Research, there’s no time limit to complete these tasks, and you can feel free to work on them well after the event has concluded at the end of the weekend. It gives you plenty of time to catch Marshadow and add it to your collection.
