However, some Special Research tasks are locked behind factors like aPokemon GOplayer’s levelor if they were able to purchase a ticket for an event like Pokemon GO Fest, GO Tour, or Safari Zone. With so many things to do and plenty of events happening on a regular basis, it is not surprising for fans to put off completing a task that will still be there no matter how long a player keeps logging in to the title.
