How to complete City Experience Special Research at Pokemon GO Fest 2022: Seattle

While Pokemon GO Fest: Seattle is in the rearview, trainers can still complete the event's Special Research to yield rewards. These tasks take time and effort but result in an encounter with the powerful Pokemon Buzzwole, a brawny and brutish Bug/Fighting-type Ultra Beast.

Considering the impressive capabilities of Pokemon GO, trainers will likely want to invest in GO Fest Seattle's research to encounter the mighty Pokemon on their own. Catching an Ultra Beast is a rare feat at the moment in-game, and the research tasks don't ask too much of them.

Below, trainers can find a quick guide to the steps they'll need to take and the rewards they'll obtain by following the research steps.
