'Primal Rumblings' quest steps in Pokémon Go

Here you’ll find all of the Primal Rumblings quest steps in Pokémon Go. This quest was originally released on Friday, 17th February, but, since it’s part of the runup for the Go Tour: Hoenn Global event, we thought it was worth including here.

It’s worth noting that while this is a special research quest, and therefore can be completed whenever you please, the Ticket reward is only relevant to the Go Tour: Hoenn Global event. Due to this, there’s a chance this reward will either be removed or replaced once this event passes.

We do highly recommend completing the Primal Rumblings quest before Go Tour: Hoenn Global to ensure you’re ready for the event.

Be wary, this section does contain spoilers if you’d prefer to be surprised.
