Friend Fest research task rewards explained in Pokémon Go
The many rewards on offer from this week's set of new tasks.
Friend Fest research tasks are a time limited quest available in Pokémon Go to coincide with, you guessed it, November 2019's Friend Fest event, which has seen a boost to trading and when fighting alongside those in your Friends list.
These tasks are available at PokéStops, replacing some of the current roster of monthly Research Tasks currently available.

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 Friend Fest research task rewards?
Unlike last week's Super Effective research, there are multiple new Field Research as part of this event, and most of them have one of two possible rewards, decided at random.
The majority of rewards revolve around the Nidoran family of Pokémon, all of which has the potential to be shiny. Though their spawns have increased for the event, it's another welcome opportunity to guarantee their appearance.
Additionally, the task catching a Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂ will result in the other appearing - so if you can line it up, you can complete the other by having both in your possession.
