Pokémon GO: Voltorb From the Hisui Region!? Special Research Tasks (& Rewards)

screenrant.com:

The "Voltorb from the Hisui Region?!" task has come to Pokémon GO to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus for the Nintendo Switch. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a new entry in the Pokémon series that focuses less on becoming the best trainer in the world and more on capturing every Pokémon in the region. It also introduced a handful of new regional variants of classic Pokémon, including Voltorb. Voltorb's Hisuian form is an Electric- and Grass-type Pokémon, unlike its original Kanto form which was just mono-Electric. It's common for Pokémon GO to introduce tie-in events whenever a new big-budget title is released. In conjunction with the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon GO trainers will encounter many Hisuian Voltorb during the event.

During this Pokémon GO event, both Kantoan and Hisuian Voltrob will appear in the wild more frequently. This provides a great chance to collect tons of Voltorb candy in Pokémon GO to help their Kantoan and Hisuian Voltorb become stronger or evolve. While both species appear in the wild, only the Kantoan form has the chance to appear Shiny. Hisuian Voltorb does have a Shiny form in Pokémon Legends: Arceus as of now, but it's possible the Shiny form will be added to the game in a future update. This increased spawn rate also offers new special research tasks that can give players neat rewards.
