Pokemon Go Starry Skies Special Research tasks & rewards

Pokemon Go has launched yet another way for trainers to encounter Cosmog through a Special Research quest called Starry Skies during the Solstice Horizons event. Here’s everything we know about it.

Pokemon Go’s latest event, Solstice Horizons, is finally available to trainers, and with it comes a new Special Research quest for fans to complete.
