Introducing the Along the Routes Event
The Along the Routes event is part of the Timeless Travels season in Pokemon GO. It introduces a new NPC named Mateo and the Gift Exchange feature. This event encourages players to explore different routes and engage in Gift Exchanges with trainers from around the world.
With the Along the Routes event, players have the opportunity to encounter Shiny Hisuian Sneasel and its evolution, Shiny Sneasler. There are also various Research quests available, offering rewards such as Great Balls and Poke Balls. Additionally, players can enjoy bonuses like 1/2 Egg Hatch Distance in Incubator and 5× XP for the first-time spin at a PokeStop.
Field Research Tasks and Rewards
The Along the Routes event offers Field Research tasks for players to complete. These tasks include a variety of objectives and rewards. By completing each task, players can earn items and encounter different Pokemon. There is also a chance to encounter the elusive Shiny Hisuian Sneasel.
Some of the rewards for completing Field Research tasks include Great Balls, Poke Balls, and other in-game items. These rewards can be valuable in your Pokemon GO journey, so make sure to complete as many tasks as you can during the event.
Engaging in Gift Exchange with Mateo
Mateo is the researcher who facilitates the Gift Exchange feature in Pokemon GO. To initiate a Gift Exchange, simply approach Mateo and start a conversation. From there, you can select a Gift from Mateo, either from the start or end point of a route, or from a nearby PokeStop.
Adding a sticker to your Gift is optional, but it adds a personal touch to the exchange. Once you've made your selection, proceed to exchange Gifts with Mateo. You'll receive a new memento from another trainer, adding to your collection of Postcards. Collecting Postcards is essential for unlocking various Vivillon forms in Pokemon GO.
