Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

Mythic Blade field research tasks in Pokémon Go

The Mythic Blade event may be fairly short, running from Tuesday, December 6th 10am (local time) to Sunday, December 11th at 8pm (local time), but it comes with some several event-exclusive field research tasks that you can collect by spinning PokéStops in Pokémon Go.

Completing event-exclusive tasks, shown by the orange highlights in the Field view, will reward you with event-themed Pokémon. These frequently sit outside the normal spawn pool and become much rarer after the event.

Although these tasks can be saved and completed after the event ends, we recommend completing them during the Mythic Blade event as the Pokémon encounters you earn may help you complete the Collection Challenge.

Here are the Mythic Blade field research tasks in Pokémon Go:

• Power up Pokémon 15 times reward – Galarian Farfetch’d encounter
• Catch 15 Fighting-type Pokémon reward – Galarian Farfetch’d encounter
• Catch 7 Fighting-type Pokémon reward – Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan or Hitmontop encounter

Everything else you need to know about the Mythic Blade event in Pokémon Go

On top of the above Mythic Blade Collection Challenge and the event-exclusive research tasks, the Mythic Blade event brings a host of additional benefits and things to be excited about.

Players who buy a ticket to the event ($7.99 or the local equivalent pricing tier) will be able to catch the Mythical Pokémon Keldeo.

The spawn pool will be slightly different during the event, and the following Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild: Mankey, Machop, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Hitmontop, Combusken, Makuhita, Meditite and Monferno. Poliwrath and the newly released Crabrawler will be rare spawns.

Raids will also be slightly different, and will feature several Pokémon that are both popular in Go Battle League. You can expect to see the following raids during the event:

• One-Star: Meditite, Buizel, Timburr and Tympole
• Three-Star: Poliwrath, Aerodactyl, Skarmory and Breloom
• Five-Star: Terrakion and Virizion (both will know the exclusive Charged move Sacred Sword)

Keldeo fans can head to the store to purchase themed outfits for their avatar. Ticket-holding players will receive a Keldeo T-Shirt avatar item as part of the Special Research line.

Lastly, there will be special Incense encounters for ticket-holding players, with the following Pokémon appearing more frequently. Non-ticket-holders will have access to the regular Incense spawn pool:

• Machop
• Hitmonlee
• Hitmonchan
• Hitmontop
• Beldum
• Tympole
• Ferroseed

Of these, Beldum will be the chase Pokémon, due to its strength in Master League and raids alike.

Good luck and we hope you enjoy this year’s Mythic Blade event in Pokémon Go!
