One of the bigger parts of Pokémon GO Fest 2021 is the new ticketed Special Research story dubbed The Melody Pokémon. This is what will eventually reward players with the new Mythical Pokémon Meloetta, along with a bunch of cosplay and costumed characters along the way. And as you gain those new characters you’ll be making choices about which to catch and what path to take through the story. To help you with all of that here’s The Melody Pokémon Research tasks and rewards for Pokémon GO Fest 2021, along with advice on which choices to make.
The Melody Pokémon Special Research Tasks and Rewards
Here’s all of the tasks and rewards for The Melody Pokémon Special Research story, which will activate for anyone with a Pokémon GO Fest 2021 ticket on Saturday, July 17th.

So that’s all of the The Melody Pokémon Research tasks and rewards for Pokémon GO Fest 2021. But as you can see, there are a few choice to make along the way. Here’s our help with making those choices.
Which to Choose – Galarian Zigzagoon or Galarian Ponyta, Flygon or Gardevoir
Looking at the list above you can see that these choices really do come down to which you prefer. You will be getting multiple of each and can trade them to people who made the opposite choice to you if you want to complete the set. The only choice with bigger consequences is for Pikachu, which we have more guidance on linked above. Otherwise as you go through the tasks just pick whichever option you like best and work on getting the other one later.
And that’s The Melody Pokémon Research tasks and rewards and which choices to make for Pokémon GO Fest 2021.
