Pokémon Go Tour: Kalos has begun, and, as usual, there are Special Research Tasks to complete that net a ton of handy rewards and encounters.
The two-day extravaganza has plenty for Pokémon Go players to sink their teeth into, including a packed schedule of raids, Pokémon debuts, Shiny Diancie available for the first time, and a heap of rewards to earn.
The Go Tour: Kalos An X-Ceptional Yarn Special Research is split into two paths, themed on X and Y, and Insider Gaming has details on all the tasks and the rewards available.
All X Version Tasks & Rewards
The X Version of the An X-ceptional Yarn Special Research Tasks is themed around Xerneas, offering an encounter with the Legendary Pokémon.
Along the way, there are opportunities to gain a host of other rewards, including specific Pokémon encounters, Candies to level up or Evolve your Pokémon, and XP to push you along in your progress.
