Pokemon GO Galar Calling Special Research Dates
The Galar Calling Special Research is available starting on September 3, 2024, at 10 AM local time. Trainers can log in and claim the special research for this season any time between September 3 and December 3, 2024, when the current Max Outs season ends. This research is free, so all players can claim it without spending a PokeCoin.
Once claimed, the Special Research does not expire. You can work through the tasks on your own time, so long as you log in and grab the research path before the season ends.
All Pokemon GO Galar Calling Special Research Tasks & Rewards
There are 19 total tiers in the Pokemon GO Galar Calling Special Research. As you might expect for an event centered on Gen 8, the number eight makes quite a few appearances in our goals for the season.
Like most seasonal Research paths, not all of them have been released yet. Here are all currently known tasks and their rewards:
Galar Calling Step 1 Tasks & Rewards
| Task | Reward |
|---|---|
| Catch 8 Pokemon | 3 Charged TMs |
| Complete All Tasks | 800 XP 800 Stardust |
Galar Calling Step 2 Tasks & Rewards
This step asks you to choose your path for the research.
You will pick Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble as your research focus for the rest of the Galar Calling Special Research in Pokemon GO. There is no specific reward for this stage unless you count Professor Willow’s little factoids about your chosen starter. Once you pick, you’ll move right to Step 3.
