The Pokemon Go Valentine’s Day event is here, giving players two Collection Challenges and event-exclusive Field Research tasks to work through – with some great rewards on offer.
Niantic are celebrating Valentine’s Day 2022 with another themed event. During this time, players can take part in the Go Battle League’s Love Cup, encounter a different set of Raid Bosses, and catch the newly-debuted Flabebe.

Below, you’ll find everything you need to know to complete each Collection Challenge and Field Research task, as well as the rewards you can earn along the way.
