Rediscover Kanto is an event showing off the new visuals in Pokémon Go by taking us back to where the franchise started, back in 1996. That’s right, we’re focusing on Kanto.
During this Pokémon Go event, you can see the hideous new refreshed avatars, explore the new biomes and rediscover the Pokémon that made the world fall in love. There’s a string of bonuses, too, from Field Research and Special Research to increased odds of finding a shiny starter Pokémon!

Rediscover Kanto is a Special Research quest line that you can pick up by logging into Pokémon Go between Monday April 22 2024 at 10:00am and Thursday May 9 2024 at 8:00pm PDT.
The best thing about this being a Special Research task is that once you have it, you can take as long as you want to finish the task! However, since you need to catch a lot of Kantonian Pokémon, and there’s a lot of them about right now, it might be worth trying to finish the quest line before the event ends.
Below you’ll find all of the Rediscover Kanto quest steps and rewards in Pokémon Go. Remember to keep an eye out for spoilers.

The World of Wonders season has come to Pokémon Go, which has brought Rediscover Kanto and Sustainability Week, along with the World of Wonders quest.
Don’t forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you’re hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
By spinning PokéStops during the Rediscover Kanto event in Pokémon Go, you’ll be able to pick up event-exclusive Field Research tasks. As always, you can only hold three tasks at a time.
Fortunately (or unfortunately), it’s slim pickings this time around, meaning it will be very easy to pick up the same task to complete at the same time. We recommend doing this if you want to maximise your efficiency in the game!
Here are the Rediscover Kanto Field Research tasks in Pokémon Go:
If you haven’t been able to guess from the title, Rediscover Kanto invites you into the game to rediscover all the fun times you had with the Gen 1 Pokémon in Kanto. Rather than trying to recapture players who stopped playing because of the botched feature launches, the buggy and broken PVP or the travesty that was the culling of Remote Raids, this is purely a chance to take a look at the reskinned avatars and environments!
Thanks, we hate it.
Putting the anaemic avatars in the bin to one side, the Rediscover Kanto event comes with a batch of other bonuses that you may want to be aware of. Firstly, this is the perfect opportunity to pick up some Legacy Moves for your Pokémon!
All of these are PVP-relevant moves, so if you fancy trying your hand at Go Battle League, make sure you pick these up!
But wait, there’s more! During the event, you can also make the most of the following bonuses:
