Pokemon GO Slowpoke Community Day: All Special Research tasks and rewards

With the Community Day event for the month of March going live across the world in Pokemon GO, trainers are excited to dip their toes into everything that the event has to offer. This month's event will feature both Slowpoke and its Galarian counterpart, along with the debut of Shiny Galarian Slowpoke. The occasion will also feature event-exclusive Special Research tasks for players to complete.

Monthly events such as Community Days are excellent initiatives by Niantic to foster the community experience in Pokemon GO and encourage players to meet up in-person to engage in special content. One can only hope that the upcoming event won't suffer from the plethora of technical issues that the app has suffered from of late.

This article details all of the available information regarding the tasks and rewards of the event-exclusive Special Research in the March 2023 Slowpoke Community Day.

Everything you need to know about Slowpoke Community Day Special Research tasks and rewards in Pokemon GO

This month's Community Day featuring Slowpoke is scheduled to be held on Saturday, March 18, 2023, beginning at 2:00 pm local time and will remain accessible until 5:00 pm local time. This will give players around the world a duration of three hours to catch the Pokemon featured in the event, followed by in-person Four-Star Raid Battles involving Slowpoke and Galarian Slowpoke.

As mentioned above, lucky trainers will be able to encounter the shiny variant of Galarian Slowpoke for the very first time in Niantic's popular AR title. Trainers can evolve Slowpoke into Slowbro with the help of 50 Slowpoke Candy and then into Slowking with the help of another 50 Slowpoke Candy and the King's Rock.

In addition to using 50 Candy for both of these evolutions, Galarian Slowpoke will further require players to make the Pokemon their buddy and then catch 30 Psychic-type pocket monsters during the Community Day event. The event will feature a ticketed Special Research called Field Notes: Slow and Slower.
