The Party Up! event hails the end of the Season of Adventures Abound in Pokémon Go.

As the name suggests, Party Up! is all about Party Play - Pokémon Go’s multiplayer feature - and, for that reason, you’ll need another play if you want to complete the Party Play timed research quest.

Even if you don’t have anyone to use the Party Play feature with, you can still collect and complete the Party Up! event-exclusive field research tasks.

'Party Up!' quest step in Pokémon Go

Party Up! is a timed research quest running until Monday 27th November at 8pm (local time) in Pokémon Go. If you want to earn all of the rewards from this quest, you must complete it before this deadline or else they will vanish forever.

It’s also important to note that this timed research quest is focused around Party Play - Pokémon Go’s multiplayer feature. For this reason, you’ll need at least one other player to complete this quest.

Below you’ll find the Party Up! quest steps and rewards. Be wary of spoilers!

Everything you need to know about the Party Up event in Pokémon Go

There are four bonuses running throughout the Party Up! event in Pokémon Go until it ends on Monday 27th November at 8pm (local time). Aside from earning double XP from winning raids, all of these bonuses are related to trading. By far the best bonus allows you to conduct five Special Trades per day, meaning you complete a total of 30 Special Trades throughout Party Up! if you make sure to use these extra trades every day.

You’ll also earn double trade candy and players Level 31 or above will be guaranteed to earn Candy XL from trading.
