The level cap extension in Pokemon GO was accompanied by the arrival of four Special Research quest lines that provide trainers with rewards such as pocket monster encounters, in-game items, and experience points. These Special Research stores are provided at levels 43, 45, 48, and 50 for players to pick up. Given the significant amount of experience points required to level up in the latter stages of character level progression, the aforementioned Special Research quest lines provide much-needed boosts for players to avail of.
These were added along with the level cap extension in the November 2020 GO Beyond update.
