Pokémon GO: 3 new quests that are really worthwhile for the water festival

In Pokémon GO, the water festival is running from today, for which you can find thematically appropriate research again. We at MeinMMO have looked at which quests and rewards await you during the event and which of them are particularly worthwhile.

What are the tasks? In Pokémon GO you have the opportunity to get special tasks by rotating PokéStops. As you know from past events, the field research from May has now been supplemented with special event quests on the occasion of the water festival. You will receive this throughout the event period.

Below we show you all the tasks and their rewards that are behind the new quests.

When is the water festival? The Water Festival runs from May 12, 2022 at 10:00 local time to May 20, 2022 at 20:00 local time.

8 new Water Festival quests

Just in time for the start of the Water Festival, you will find 8 new field research tasks at the PokéStops. Below we have summarized all tasks and rewards for you as well as all Pokémon with one marked, which you can also encounter in their dazzling form (vialeekduck.com

Just like the regular quests, these tasks are shown in your “Field” view in the game, but have the small word “Event” there so that you can distinguish them from the other quests. As usual, you have unlimited time to complete the tasks.

Which quests are worthwhile?

The new tasks have some Pokémon encounters, but also balls and various mega-energy ready for you and are all relatively easy to solve. Three tasks are particularly worthwhile. We’ll show you which ones: Catch 15 Pokemon:

After completing this task you will meet Araqua. The 7th Generation Pokémon will make its in-game debut to mark the start of the Water Festival. It belongs to the Water and Bug type Pokémon and can be evolved into Aranestro with the help of 50 Candy. The fact that it is new alone will be a reason for many players to secure as many copies as possible. In addition, Aranestro can score with a decent defense value and is therefore one of the top candidates in the super league (viapvpoke.com

Araqua and its further development Catch 10 Water-type Pokémon:

One of the possible rewards of this quest is the Rock and Water Pokémon Bithora, which you should definitely secure. The monster from the 6th game generation will now be available to catch in the game in its dazzling form for the first time.

In addition to Bithora, you can alternatively find 20 Mega Energy for Blaster or Gyarados in the rewards of this quest. This could also be helpful for one or the other trainer to develop the corresponding Mega Pokémon. Catch 25 Pokemon:

A Pokémon that is also making a special debut in the game is Lapras. For the first time, this will be disguised with a scarf and is hidden in the reward for the quest “Catch 25 Pokémon”. Of course, with a bit of luck, you can also catch this Pokémon in its dazzling form.
