Pokémon Go Charge Up! event research quest: How to complete each quest task and field research explained

'Charge Up!' quest steps in Pokémon Go

Below you'll find all of the challenges and rewards for the Charge Up! research quest. This quest does contain spoilers, so, if you want to remain surprised, we recommend skipping to the next section.

It's important to remember that this is a timed research quest, so it will only be available during the Charge Up! event itself. It will vanish forever once the event ends, taking its rewards with it, so, if you're after a specific reward, make sure you earn it before the event ends.

Charge Up! sees the release of Tynamo and it's evolutions - Eelektrik and Eelektross - bringing us closer to a complete Gen 5 Pokédex.

Tynamo will be available in the wild, alongside other electric-type Pokémon like Electrike and Stunfisk, and in one-star raids, where you'll also be able to battle Voltorb, Shinx, Blitzle and Klink.

You'll also be able to fight Alolan Raichu, Alolan Graveler, Magneton and Ampharos in three-star raids. While, best of all, the Therian Forme for Thundurus will make its debut in five-star raids.

Remember - you can use a Remote Raid pass to enter raids from whether you may be!

The Mega Evolution for Manectric will also be seeing its first appearance in Mega Raids during this week. You'll also be able to battle Mega Houndoom and Abomasnow during the event, making it the perfect time to collect the Mega Candy you need to add these Pokémon to your Mega Pokédex if you haven't done so already.

Finally, a number of electric-type Pokémon will be available from 5km eggs collected during the event, including:

• Pichu
• Elekid
• Electrike
• Shinx
• Joltik
• Tynamo
• Stunfisk

All of these electric-type Pokémon will also bring you close to the platinum level for the electric-type medal!

The Max Out Season is here and includes a new global event, Wild Area, and the current 2024 Halloween event brings us Morpeko and the Halloween cup. 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.

Charge Up! event dates and time in Pokémon Go explained

Charge Up! is an in-game event for Pokémon Go celebrating electric-type Pokémon.

Both the Charge Up! timed research and field research tasks are only available during the event, which runs from Tuesday, 16th March at 10am (local time) to Monday, 22nd March at 8pm (local time).

The Charge Up! research quest consists of four steps, with rewards for each individual challenge and overall quest step. If you want to earn all of these rewards, you need to ensure you complete the Charge Up! research quest before the end of the event itself, because, like all timed research, the questline will vanish alongside the event.

Have fun catching electric-type Pokémon!
