Every "A Melemele Adventure" special research task and reward in Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO's Season of Alola has just begun. Trainers have been treated to a host of events and challenges to herald the arrival of many new Pokemon from the Alola region.

One such challenge is a special research story called "A Melemele Adventure." Melemele is one of many islands that make up the region of Alola. It draws inspiration from the island of Oahu in Hawaii.

Since Melemele is the namesake of this special research, its tasks center their rewards around Pokemon that trainers can find on that specific island in Pokemon's Sun and Moon games.
