Pokémon Go Legendary Heroes: All Research Tasks

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

Legendary Heroes contains a Timed Research that will have you choose either the Sword or the Shield Path, which in turn will not only decide 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.
