The Season of Alola has arrived and there are tons of new special bonuses, spawns, and hatches for Pokemon GO players to enjoy as they celebrate. Now that the new season's first month of events is here, there are plenty of rotating events for the community to take part in. Starting earlier this week, a new Special Research became available for all players, as well.
The "Ana Alaka Adventure" Special Research expands the Season of Alola story and builds on the mobile AR game's lore. As Pokemon GO players work through the four-part chain of connected quests, they'll learn some new facts from Professor Willow about the Akala Island region and some of the most iconic Pokemon and locations found in the area.
The list of Akala Adventure tasks isn't very challenging, and the average player should easily be able to power through everything required without even going out of their way very much. Just be sure to take a look at the current chain of quests and keep an eye out for easy opportunities to check some items off of the list each day.

The rewards aren't too mind-blowing this time around, but free Stardust and XP is still a nice perk for players who would be accomplishing most of these tasks anyway just by playing on a daily basis. That should cover everything players need to know to dive into the new Special Research this season, but we should learn more about other upcoming events during the early days of the Season of Alola.
