How to Complete Misunderstood Mischief Special Research All Tasks and Rewards in Pokémon Go - November 9

The Season of Mischief has started in Pokémon Go, and with it, a brand new season-long quest that players will have from September to November to complete. The season-long Special Research is called Misunderstood Mischief, and it will be available to all players in Pokémon Go starting on September 1 at 10 AM in your local time zone. You should not expect to complete it immediately. Instead, the many tasks will unravel throughout the season, likely tying to encounter the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa and the several events you’ll need to complete. This guide breaks down all of the tasks and rewards you’re going to receive for this quest.

We’ve updated this guide to reflect the tasks that unlock on November 5 at 10 AM in your local timezone for the Festival of Lights event.
