The Pokemon Go 8th Anniversary Party has begun, showcasing thrilling Timed Research tasks that reward players with encounters with costumed species, the elusive Mythical Meltan, and essential items that should not be overlooked.
The tasks, rewards, and deadlines for both the free and paid Timed Research quests are listed below.

It’s important to note that only the Party Hat varieties of Charmander and Squirtle are capable of evolving. Their ultimate forms, Charizard and Blastoise, are exceptionally strong in the Ultra League and can even be used together on a team. And that’s not all – their Mega Evolutions are highly sought after for Raid battles.
Cake Hat Pikachu can be caught in larger quantities during the upcoming Spotlight Hour on July 2, 2024. Make sure not to miss out on this chance to add this rare costumed species to your collection, as they are highly sought after for Special Trades.
The debuting Party Hat Grimer is available in the wild.

Completing this stage will result in you receiving an extra opportunity to encounter Meltan.
Typically, Meltan can only be obtained through the Mystery Box. However, this Timed Research presents a fantastic chance to capture numerous specimens of this Mythical creature and acquire the necessary 400 Candy to evolve it into Melmetal.
Melmetal is an excellent choice for the Go Battle League, as it excels in defeating the powerful combination of Dragonite, Togekiss, and Dialga in the Master League. This makes it a highly recommended Pokemon to invest in and level up to 50 for PvP battles.
The pure Steel-type Melmetal is known for its solid coverage in battles.
