Pokemon GO offers a wide variety of activities for players, aside from being a great way to encourage going out for a walk when the weather is nice. While players can simply just roam around and do things like catch Pokemon or hatch eggs in an incubator, Special Research can give Pokemon GO players some direction if they are not sure what to do next.

Furthermore, Special Research can also provide unique rewards that cannot be obtained by other means. It also provides players with items that they would otherwise have to pay for, which makes Special Research more attractive to those looking to play entirely for free.
To put it simply, Special Research is a series of tasks that require players to go through a fixed list of actions and activities as they are playing Pokemon GO. Tasks that players will need to complete include simple things like catching Pokemon, visiting PokeStops, making «Great» or «Nice» throws, and transferring Pokemon to Professor Willow. Some more complex, difficult, and time-consuming tasks includes things like having to battle other players, accumulate walking distance in kilometers, and win raids. Special Research has a variety of stages, each with a set of tasks that players must complete.
Aside from serving as a glorified to-do list for the player, Special Research also has some story involved as well. Early on in Pokemon GO, the story of Special Research involved the player assisting Professor Willow with his efforts to find mythical Pokemon like Mew and Celebi. Special Research also helps promote new features that have recently been added to Pokemon GO. A good example of this would be the event A Mysterious Incense, which promotes the new item Daily Adventure Incense.
