Pokémon Go Legendary Heroes: All Research Tasks

The Pokémon Go Legendary Heroes event runs from September 26 to October 1, 2024 and is all about Pokémon Sword & Shield – in more ways than one.

Legendary Heroes includes a Timed Research that requires you to choose either the Sword or Shield Path. This in turn determines not only the tasks and rewards of this Timed Research, but also which Collection Challenges you have access to and which Pokémon appear from Incense.

Find all Pokémon Go Legendary Heroes 2024 tasks and rewards below.

You'll automatically gain access to the Legendary Heroes Timed Research in Pokémon GP when you log in between September 26, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. local time and October 1, 2024 at 8:00 p.m. local time. Note that these tasks and their rewards will only be available during this period, so be sure to complete them and claim your loot before the event ends.
