Pokemon GO’s Friend Fest event is live from now until December 2, and with it comes exclusive Research Tasks.
According to Niantic’s blog post, you can encounter family-themed Pokemon such as both genders of Nidoran and their evolutions in the wild and as rewards for completing Research Tasks. In addition to that, the Stardust cost for trades has been cut in half, players can make two Special Trades per day instead of one and you gain an attack boost when you battle in Raids with friends.
Users on The Silph Road have already began to chronicle the Research Tasks for the event. Here’s the full list of Friend Fest Research Tasks and their rewards. We will update the article if we notice any new tasks.
Friend Fest: Win a Trainer Battle against another Trainer – Dugtrio or Dodrio
Friend Fest: Trade a Pokemon with a Friend – Nidorino or Nidorina
Friend Fest: Catch a Nidoran (male) – Nidoran (female)

In other news, Terrakion has been added to five-star Raids yesterday and will be available to fight and catch until December 17, according to Niantic.
In December, Niantic will host a two day event where Pokemon featured in Community Day events throughout 2019 are more likely to be encountered in the wild. Pokemon featured in prior Community Day events will also be found in Eggs and Raid Battles. You can also evolve Pokemon featured in 2018 and 2019 Community Day events to receive their Community Day-exclusive moves. You can see the full schedule and list of Pokemon featured during the event on Niantic’s blog.
Update: A previous version of this article listed the reward for the Research Task of “Trade a Pokemon with a Friend” to be either a Nidoran (male) or a Nidoran (female) when the actual reward is either a Nidorino or a Nidorina.
