The first page of the Cosmic Companion Special Research inPokemon GOchallenges players to catch 15 Pokemon, make 10 curveball throws, and catch 15Psychic-type Pokemon. After completing it,Pokemon GOplayers are rewarded with a Cosmog encounter. Three more steps are available after this, thoughPokemon GOplayers have to wait for October 5 for the next part of the quest.
ThePokemon GOCosmic Companion Special Research will likely be the most exciting Season of Light update for fans, but there are always raid changes to keep in mind. Niantic has rotated the Pokemon available in raids inPokemon GOas part of the new season, withDeoxys being the headlining new attraction.Pokemon GOplayers can encounter various Deoxys forms from now until September 13, at which point it will be replaced by a different legendary Pokemon.
There will be other events to look forward to during thePokemon GOSeason of Light, like Medicham as the current Research Breakthrough reward and limited-time research starring Psychic/Dark-type Pokemon Inkay, as well as new Pokemon for players to catch in the wild. For now, though,Pokemon GOSeason of Lightis focused on introducing legendary Pokemon Cosmog to the game, and fans can catch theirs now as long as they manage to complete the Cosmic Companion Special Research quest.
