Pokémon Go’s “Adventure Week” event is back from July 27 until Aug. 2, celebrating fossil Pokémon yet again.

This event brings doubled XP for spinning PokéStops, quintupled XP for spinning a new PokéStop, and halved hatch distance for eggs incubated during the event period. It also includes the debut of shiny Tyrunt and shiny Amaura.

There’s also a Collection Challenge, free Timed Research, increased fossil Pokémon spawns, and other bonuses, which we’ve listed out below.

This Timed Research is the free research you get just for logging in, not the paid ticketed research.

After nabbing a few Pokémon, you’ll be met with a choice. You can either pick “sightseeing adventure” or “studious adventure.” They both yield the same exact rewards, but involve completing different tasks. Take a look at the options below and pick whichever fits your playstyle more.
