The Pokemon Go Slowpoke event also includes a Collection Challenge which tasks you with rounding up a Slowpoke (available in the wild or through the field research tasks above) before evolving it into a Slowbro and Slowking.
The first evolution will require 50 Slowpoke Candy, and the second will require 50 Slowpoke Candy and a King’s Rock. Handy, then, that you’ll earn a King’s Rock from the research tasks above. You’ll gain Candy by using Pinap Berries on all the Slowpoke you catch.
Complete the lot of challenges and you’ll gain 3,000XP, 30 Ultra Balls, and a Slowpoke Forever Shirt you can slap on your Pokemon Go character.
That’s all there is to know about the Pokemon Go A Very Slow Discovery field research tasks, meaning you can get out there and start working on completing all the Slowpoke event challenges before June 13!
