Enigma Week research tasks are a series of limited-time challenges in Pokémon Go that are part of the Ultra Unlock bonus, which was unlocked by Go Fest 2020 attendees.

There are three Ultra Unlock bonuses in total - Dragon Week, which has already occurred, Enigma Week, which is happening right now, and Unova Week, which will run after Enigma Week.

These tasks can be found by spinning PokéStops, alongside the current roster of monthly research tasks, which are currently available. If you're looking for a specific task, then you might have to visit more than PokéStop!

Enigma Week is part of the Ultra Unlock bonuses that were unlocked by Go Fest 2020 attendees; the final Ultra Unlock is Unova Week and will run once Enigma Week ends.

The Dual Destiny Season is here! It begins with the Just My Cup of Tea event, which also sees the arrival of Sinistea and the Dual Destiny quest in Pokémon Go! You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

What else do you need to know about Enigma Week in Pokémon Go?

Aside from the Enigma Week research tasks, there are a number of other bonuses that you can take advantage of during this event in Pokémon Go.

The first is that Enigma Week marks the release of Elgyem and Beheeyem, psychic-type Pokémon from Gen 5, into Pokémon Go.

You will also be able to find Staryu, Jigglypuff, Clefairy, Lunatone, Solrock, Baltoy and Bronzor in the wild. The shiny version of Staryu will also see its release during Enigma Week, so, if you're looking for a Pokémon to focus on, we recommend Staryu!

Elgyem and Beheeyem can now be found in Pokémon Go.

A number of Unown will also be appearing in both raids and the wild during Enigma Week. The Unown on offer are U, L, T, R, A and, if you're lucky, you might even catch a shiny Unown.

Normal Forme Deoxys will also be available in five-star raids throughout this week, so if you need to add this Pokémon to your Pokédex or just want its shiny version, then this is the time to battle it.

Alongside Deoxys and the Unowns, you'll also be able to battle Bronzong, Claydol and Elgyem in raids.

Remember - you can raid remotely, so you can make both Deoxys and the Unowns come to you.
