The latest event inPokémon GO, called Ultra Unlock: Better Together, has officially kicked off, meaning there’s a new set of Timed Research and event-exclusive Field Research tasks for Trainers to work through. While there are only a few days to complete them all, the rewards for doing so are more than worth it, as they include encounters with the new Pokémon debut, Tandemaus.
Better Together is the first of three Ultra Unlock events that Trainers managed to unlock by completing challenges duringPokémon GO Fest 2024. It runs fromJuly 17, 2024 at 10 AM to June 15, 2025, at 8 PMlocal time, meaning you’ve got six days to enjoy all of the themed wild spawns, Raid Bosses, and - most importantly - finish all of the free Timed Research tasks.

Even More Encounters With Tandemaus
There areseven exclusive Field Research tasksyou can claim by spinning PokéStops during the Ultra Unlock: Better Together event. If you don’t get the task you want, you can delete an existing task to make room for more, but you’ll need to spin a different PokéStop to get one.

All of these Field Research tasks have the potential to reward a rare Tandemaus encounter. This will be very helpful for catching the adorable little rodent Pokémon, as it will only be available to encounter during Party Play sessions outside of this event. You’ll need a total of 50 Tandemaus Candy to evolve it into Maushold inPokémon GO, so stock up on that Candy while you can.
