Pokemon GO Jump-Start Research Tasks and Rewards

Jump-Start Research is a special type of research aimed at helping new Pokemon GO players catch up on their in-game experience. The series of research is split into six sets of tasks, all of which grant a decent amount of XP and Pokemon encounters. These tasks are an excellent way for newer players to familiarize themselves with various aspects of the game, such as taking snapshots, hatching eggs, and collecting new Pokemon. Down below, you can find a full list of Pokemon GO Jump-Start Research Tasks and Rewards.

Jump-Start Research has appeared in-game during the last two summers, and this year it is appearing again during the Pokemon GO 5th Anniversary Event. The special research does not expire, but you’ll want to make sure to open up the research tab before July 15 so that you have them available.
