Pokemon GO's newest event is Fashion Week 2021- an event focusing on Pokemon wearing special accessories. It will be running from Tuesday, September 21st at 10:00 AM to Tuesday, September 28th at 8:00 PM in players' local times.
Like with many Pokemon GO events, players are able to participate in various research tasks in order to earn rewards. For the event's timed research tasks, players will have to complete all of the task steps before the event is over in their timezone if they want to collect all of the available prizes.
There is a total of five task steps for the Fashion Week timed research tasks this year. With a week to complete, there's plenty of time to go through these challenges, but players should still keep track of how much time they have left.
