Pokemon GO's Season 10 is officially underway, dubbed as the season of Rising Heroes. The season will last for a few months, bringing players new events, research tasks, raid battles, and even new Pokemon to catch, such as Roaming Form Gimmighoul.
This guide will cover one of the latest research events, titled 'Choose Your Fighting Type,' which is only available to Pokemon GO players that live in Mexico. The timed research tasks (and their rewards) were made available to trainers on March 1 at 10 am local time and will disappear on March 8 at 8 pm local time. This event is to celebrate the debut of the Fighting/Flying-type Pokemon, Hawlucha, which first came onto the scene in the mainline generation 5 games, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y for the Nintendo 3DS.
Choose Your Fighting Type Timed Research Tasks and Rewards
Even though the timed research is here to celebrate Hawlucha, the tasks actually don't involve the wrestling Pokemon at all, and it's not even one of the encounter rewards. Still, by completing the tasks listed below, fans will have the chance to encounter one of three Fighting-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO: Machamp, Hariyama, and Scrafty. It all depends on which of the three branching paths players decide to go with.
