Pokémon Go A Valorous Hero Timed Research quest steps, rewards and field research tasks
Everything you need to know about the A Valorous Hero event!
The A Valorous Hero event is the third in the trio of events celebrating the three Team Leaders in Pokémon Go. Just like the A Mysteric Hero event last month, this one adds a new costumed Pokémon for trainers to set their sights on: a Ponyta themed after the Team Valor’s leader, Candela!
While you’re completing the A Valorous Hero special research quest quest to get your new Ponyta, you may also want to complete the A Valorous Hero: Timed Research quest and collect some of the event-exclusive field research tasks.

Everything else we know about A Valorous Hero in Pokémon Go
The A Valorous Hero event in Pokémon Go is running until Wednesday 17th May at 8pm (local time). During this time, you can start the A Valorous Hero special research quest, complete the event’s timed research quest and work on the seasonal special research quest, Let's GO!
There are also three bonuses for you to enjoy during this event, with the first two being focused around catching Pokémon. You’ll receive double catch Candy for catching Pokémon, and Trainers twice the chance to obtain Candy XL from catching Pokémon (starting at Trainer Level 31).
Finally, other than the aforementioned costumed Ponyta, this event debuts two Pokémon that Trainers will want to keep an eye out for: Mega Pinsir will be in Mega Raids for the first time, and Go Battle League favourite Tapu Fini is getting its shiny in the world of Pokémon Go!
Hope you enjoy the A Valorous Hero event!
