Pokemon GO has brought a new event, the Throwback Challenge 2020, where each week, the game will bring a new set of Timed Research. So, here are all the details that you need to know for week one of the throwback challenge. The first part of Pokémon GO’s Throwback Challenge which started on May 1 features the Kanto region and runs through May 8.
For those unaware, the Pokemon GO Throwback Challenge is a kind of Special Research, which comes with an added difficulty of being timed. Players will be expected to complete the research challenges under a specified time period, post which anything left incomplete would disappear.
As part of the special challenge, the game will also offer doubled XP gains for catching Pokemon, raiding, and hatching eggs. In addition, there is also a batch of Field Research tasks where players will be able to encounter a number of Kanto region Pokemon on successful completion.
