We're in the final days of celebration for this tropical region, and as we prepare to say our final Alola to its many bonuses and blessings, we also get to look forward, as we now have our chance to make our final preparations for the end-of-season research!

End-of-Season Special Research
The Season of Alola is coming to an end with this event, and with this end we can look forward to the promised end-of-season research line. This research line begins June 1, 2022 and will only be available for players who have completed the four seasonal research lines that have led up to this before that date, or players who purchase a ticket in the shop for $4.99. This research line has four branching paths based on the four islands of Alola: Melemele Island, Akala Island, Ula'ula Island, and Poni Island. Each path has its own unique advantages, though we don't know the whole scope of this choice yet.
Melemele Island Path
This path is more focused on growth, as it gives items that are a bit more centered around giving additional bonuses for normal activities. The challenges entailed will be more social in nature, with the examples given being taking snapshots and sending gifts.
- Players will receive the following items on this path:
- 4 Lucky Eggs
- 2 Poffins
- 1 Lure Module
- A hat avatar item based on Oricorio - Pom-Pom Style
- This path will also give an encounter with Alolan Raichu
- This path is also stated to have more rewards than what we've stated here
