The tasks go live at 10am local time on Nov. 23, with one set of tasks in particular focusing on giving trainers the new GO Safari Ball. You'll need to complete the Throw Wild quest to get access to the hourly restocks of GO Safari Balls, so try to get them out of the way as soon as you can. The tasks, for the most part, are pretty straightforward, but be prepared to walk quite a bit. How to complete the Throw Wild Special Research in Pok\u00e9mon Go There are two parts to the Throw Wild Special Research task in Pok\u00e9mon Go, rewarding you with a handful of GO Safari Balls, XP, and Stardust for doing simple tasks. 1\/1 Throw Wild Research Task Reward Completition RewardSpin three Pok\u00e9Stops or Gyms 1,000x Stardust 1,000x Stardust 3x GO Safari Ball 1,000 XP Catch 10 Pok\u00e9mon 1,000 XP 2\/2 Throw Wild Research Task Reward Completition RewardCatch three Pok\u00e9mon in GO Safari Balls 1,000x Stardust 1,000x Stardust 3x GO Safari Ball 1,000 XP Catch three Mighty Pok\u00e9mon 1,000 XP The hardest part of the questline for trainers is likely catching Mighty Pok\u00e9mon, a new type of Pok\u00e9mon introduced during this event. These Pok\u00e9mon have distinct differences from other Pok\u00e9mon you can find in the wild and have a yellow aura around them. They will also always be XL or XXL size, and are very difficult to catch, so be prepared to use your newly-got GO Safari Ball to help you catch them. On top of the Throw Wild questline, there is also hourly research to restock your GO Safari Balls after you complete the above challenges. There is also an additional set of research tasks if you pay for a weekend $2 ticket. These include: GO Wild Area Hourly Restock: GO Safari Ball 1 \/ 1 Claim Reward 10x GO Safari Ball 10x GO Safari Ball GO Wild Area Extra Access Timed Research 1 \/ 1 Claim Reward 2x GO Safari Ball 2x GO Safari Ball Once you have claimed all these tasks, you can return to trying to make the most out of the event. There is quite a bit to do, so check out our full event guide to keep track of all the different raids and offerings that await you over the weekend.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pokemon-Go-Safari-Balls-Wild-Area-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1468042"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/916"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1468042"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1468042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1468179,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1468042\/revisions\/1468179"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1467956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1468042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1468042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1468042"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1468042"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1468042"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1468042"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1468042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
