Pokemon GO's first Community Day of 2023 will occur on Saturday, January 7, and it will celebrate the Grass-type Pokemon Chespin. One component of this celebration is a Special Research story called Quality Quills, which is unlocked by purchasing an Event Ticket from the in-game shop. For those players that are trying to determine if they should buy one of these tickets, this guide is here to provide details on the rewards that can be earned through Pokemon GO's Quality Quills Special Research.

The rewards that can be earned through the Quality Quills Special Research are very similar to the rewards that have been offered by other recent Community Day Special Research stories, though there are some notable changes. Specifically, there are two additional Pokemon encounters in Quality Quills as well as more Stardust and XP. While these additions have come at the expense of one premium item and a handful of Poke Balls, this new configuration is sure to please players that simply want more opportunities to catch high IV Pokemon in PoGO.
With respect to the tasks that must be completed in order to claim these rewards, they will look extremely familiar to Pokemon GO fans who have experience with this variety of Special Research story. Indeed, the Quality Quills tasks are essentially identical to the tasks that appeared in the Community Day Special Research stories of 2022, with the only real difference being that Chespin and its evolution are the focus this time around.
One final thing to mention is that a single Field Research task will also be made available during Pokemon GO's Chespin Community Day, and it will be accessible without the purchase of the Event Ticket. This task will instruct players to catch three Chespin, and it does have a chance to award a Chespin encounter upon completion. However, the task can also award items like Poke Balls and Pinap Berries, making it a less-than-ideal source for high IV Chespin encounters.
Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS devices.
