How to complete the Pokemon GO Charge Up! research tasks

Pokemon GO brings the Charge Up! event into the game today, and there are plenty of additions to look forward to for next week. But before the event comes to a close, players should get a head start on the Charge Up! research tasks in order to get every reward.

The Charge Up! event in Pokemon GO is based around Electric-type Pokemon in the game. Events based around one type have gone live in the past, such as the Bug Out event, which was a week-long Bug-type event over the summer of 2020.

In the wild, Electric-type Pokemon will appear consistently, and the raid rotations will be based around Electric-types as well. The poster boy for this week's raids is Therian Forme Thundurus, who is a dual-type Flying and Electric Legendary, and the first Therian Forme to debut in Pokemon GO.

Keeping up with the Electric theme, the Charge Up! research tasks are also based around Electric-type Pokemon and rewards. Players can get their hands on some of the new Mega Manectric energy and plenty of rewards to catch more Pokemon. But research tasks are limited to the next six days, rather than a permanent addition to the game.
