Back in November 2020, Niantic added a level cap extension to Pokemon GO that saw trainers being able to reach the maximum level of 50. With the addition of 10 new levels, the developers also added four Special Research quest lines that players will be able to unlock upon reaching levels 43, 45, 48, and 50. These missions have several steps for players to complete that reward them with pocket monster encounters, in-game items, and experience points (XP).

The XP requirement for the latter levels in Pokemon GO is quite high and any mission or quest lines that provide the same is a reason for joy. Read on to find out what tasks and rewards await players when they make their way to the very top of player progression in Pokemon GO at level 50.
