Tips for Go Tour: Johto Battle Challenge research quest

Here are some tips which will help you complete the Go Tour: Johto Battle Challenge research quest in Pokémon Go:

• Remember, just like Team Go Rocket Grunts, each Go Gym Trainer can be found at PokéStops. You need to fight them in the above order to complete each quest step.
• However, know that at the time of writing, encounters with Trainers are very rare. As a result, for those with Tickets, we recommend focusing on other tasks first, especially those which add to your Collection Challenge medal progress.
• During battle, it's worth focusing on strong type effectiveness and weaknesses. That said, you can brute force through most battles with a selection of the best Pokémon regardless!
• If you are worried about healing items, each step rewards you with a Hyper Potion and a Max Revive. If you are running low beyond that, then spinning Stops and opening gifts for more healing items is your best bet.

Have fun during Pokémon Go Tour: Johto!
