Pokmon Gos Stunning Styles event runs from April 3-7 and focuses on Pokmon with various forms (or styles, I guess). Paldean Tauros is making its debut with its three different types of breeds, and Pokmon like Shellos, Burmy, and Castform (all of which have different forms) are featured as part of the event.During the event, XP gained from catching Pokmon is doubled and players will have a higher chance to find shiny Shellos.Additionally, the event adds free Marshadow Special Research so players who missed out on it from 2024 Go Fest can grab one now. More steps have also been added to the seasonal Might and Mastery research as well.Below we list all of Pokmon Gos Stunning Styles event features, including the two types of Timed Research, boosted spawns, and event Field Research.Pokmon Go Stunning Styles event Timed Research and rewardsYep, again there is both a free and a premium paid Timed Research for this event. As usual, youll need to finish the research and claim the rewards before April 7 at 8 p.m. in your local time. We list both of the research below.Stunning Styles free Timed ResearchOnce you complete this research, youll get some extra bonuses: one additional candy per Pokmon catch, and an increased chance to find candy XL per catch.Step 1 of 1Win 3 raids (Espurr encounter)Evolve 5 Pokmon (Clamperl encounter)Catch 30 Pokmon (3,000 XP)Power up Pokmon 10 times (3,000 XP)Rewards: Morpeko encounter, 1,500 Stardust, 10 Kubfu CandyStunning Styles premium paid Timed ResearchIs the Stunning Styles premium research worth buying? Meh. Technically yes, you are getting your moneys worth in raid passes alone, but I personally wouldnt buy this pass unless youre running low on passes or if you need the other form of Shellos.Shellos various forms are regional, so if youre missing the blue East Sea form or the pink West Sea form, this could be a good way to get what youre missing. (Note that both forms do share one Pokdex entry, so if you have one, you dont need the other one to get the Platinum Sinnoh Medal.) They have been both made available through other events (2023 Go Fest, Go Tour: Sinnoh, among others), so theres a pretty high chance they will be available worldwide again outside of this paid ticket, though.Step 1 of 2Explore 1 km (Espurr encounter)Catch 15 Pokmon (2 Golden Razz Berries)Complete 5 Field Research Tasks (1 Lucky Egg)Spin 10 PokStops or gyms (Shellos [East Sea] encounter)Rewards: 2 Premium Battle Passes, 1,500 Stardust, 3,000 XPStep 2 of 2Explore 1 km (Espurr encounter)Catch 15 Pokmon (2 Silver Pinap Berries)Complete 5 Field Research Tasks (1 Star Piece)Spin 10 PokStops or gyms (Shellos [West Sea] encounter)Rewards: 2 Premium Battle Passes, 1,500 Stardust, 3,000 XPPokmon Go Stunning Styles event Field Research and rewardsSpinning a PokStop during the event period may yield one of these tasks:Catch 10 Pokmon (Snorunt or Lechonk encounter)Evolve a Pokmon (Clamperl encounter)Power up Pokmon 5 times (Litleo encounter)Win a raid (Morpeko encounter)Pokmon Go Stunning Styles event boosted spawnsThese Pokmon will spawn more frequently during the event period:CastformBurmyPokmon Go Stunning Styles event raid targetsThe following changes to theraid schedulewill take place as part of the event:One-star raidsThree-star raidsShellos*Paldean TaurosEspurrDecidueyeRockruffHisuian Decidueye*These Pokmon have an increased chance to be found shiny.
