Unlock Exclusive Rewards with Pokémon Go’s GO Fest 2025 Early Bird Research Tasks
Pokémon Go has released its latest mini-timed research tasks and rewards, now available for players who secured a Go Fest ticket early. This offers unique opportunities centered around the Pokémon Skiddo, in anticipation of the highly anticipated GO Fest events over the coming months.
If you’re contemplating whether purchasing a Go Fest ticket before April 15 is worth it for the early tasks and rewards, we’ve compiled everything you need to know.
Complete List of GO Fest 2025 Early Bird Timed Research Tasks and Rewards
| Task | Reward | Completion Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 / 1 | ||
| Explore 1 km | Super Incubator x 1 | Skiddo Candy x 25 Skiddo Encounter Skiddo Candy XL x 3 |

Skiddo has a chance to be Shiny! If luck isn’t on your side this time, don’t worry; Skiddo will appear at upcoming in-person Go Fest events in Paris, New Jersey, and Osaka, as well as at the Global Go Fest in June. This means plenty of opportunities to catch more Skiddo and accumulate Skiddo candy to evolve into Gogoat.
Currently, the early purchase for these tasks and rewards may not seem compelling as it offers a single Skiddo encounter. However, it is still a delightful bonus for those who opted for early bird tickets to the event.
Other Ongoing Research in Pokémon Go
The GO Fest 2025 Early Bird Timed Research isn’t the only research available. You can also engage in “A Striking Shadow,” where you’ll aim to catch Marshadow, or participate in the Go: Pass April, which rewards players with an encounter with Xerneas and other mystery Pokémon featured in this season’s events.
As I prepare to head to Paris for this year’s events, I wish all trainers a safe journey! Enjoy catching a multitude of Shiny Pokémon and make the most of your GO Fest experience! Each event features exclusive spawns leading up to the grand finale at the Global Go Fest, so let’s aim to complete our mobile Pokédex while exploring around the globe.
