Pokémon Go Valentine's Day 2023 event Lovely Wishes quest steps, rewards and field research tasks

'Lovely Wishes' quest steps in Pokémon Go

Lovely Wishes is a timed research quest running throughout the Valentine's Day 2023 event in Pokémon Go, which will be available until Tuesday, 14th February at 8pm (local time). So, if you want to earn this quest's bonuses and rewards, make sure you complete it before this date.

Lovely Wishes is also a branched research quest, which means, depending on the path you take through the quest, some of the rewards and special bonus you earn from the quest will be different to other players.

There are three paths you can take through the Lovely Wishes quests and each grants you an additional bonus until the Valentine's Day 2023 event ends - one is related to the duration of Daily Adventure Incense, another to getting extra catch XP, and the last rewards extra candy for for catching Pokémon.

Below you'll find all of the Lovely Wishes quest steps and rewards for all three branches - just be wary of spoilers!
