The developers of Pokémon Go have activated the special research “Nostalgia Challenge 2020: Kanto – at least for some players. While this happened by accident, all other players will get the Nostalgia Challenge shortly. This special quest involves nine steps and rewards you with a Psychic Bump Mewtu upon completion. We have the guide to all the steps and rewards of Nostalgia Challenge 2020: Kanto.
Oops! The developers of Pokémon Go have partially released the first part of a trio of special researches totaling 36 steps a bit too early. Some Pokémon Go players can already play the special research “Nostalgia Challenge 2020: Kanto,” but most can’t yet. However, that should be the case shortly, as the folks from Niantic themselves announce on Twitter!
Update: Temporary Research will be playable by you from May 1, 2020 starting at 13:00 until May 8, 2020 at 13:00. While Special Research is active, the following bonuses will also apply:
- Pokémon from the Kanto region, such as Bluzuk and Chaneira, will appear more frequently in the wild.
- Pokémon from the Kanto region can be challenged in Raid battles.
- The following Pokémon hatch from 7-km eggs: Bluzuk, Machollo, Onix, Schlurp, Tangela, Sichlor, Pinsir, Lapras, and Evoli.
- Since Glurak won the vote for Pokémon of the Year in the Kanto Pokémon category, Pikachu with Glurak caps are appearing in the wild.
- If you’re lucky, you may even encounter Iridescent Bluzuk!
- Kanto Pokémon appear as rewards during event-exclusive field research projects.
- There’s double Catch XP, double Raid XP, and double Hatch XP.
That’s why we’ve already got the guide to the Nostalgia Challenge 2020: Kanto for you below, which focuses on some iconic Pokémon from the first generation. At the end of the nine steps, a very special treat awaits you: Mewtu with Psychic Strike. This is a Mewtu that no one should miss! If you are one of the players who can already play the special research, then we wish you a lot of fun in advance. However, when Nostalgia Challenge 2020: Kanto is activated for all players, you won’t be able to do it a second time. Here are the nine steps to Special Research in the guide and their rewards:

If you still want XP, use the lucky egg only at the last step to turn 9,000 XP into 18,000 XP after all.
Pokémon GO
Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.
Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights
Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.
Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.
Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More
The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
