During this event in Pokémon Go, you can complete the Noxious Swamp: Timed Research quest. We recommend doing so as one of the rewards is an encounter with the rare Gen 7 Dragon-type, Jangmo-o.

Alongside this quest, you’ll also be able to collect field research tasks exclusive to the Noxious Swamp event and maybe even catch a shiny Skrelp.
