Pokémon Go A Spooky Message Unmasked quest tasks and rewards - every step to unlocking Galarian Yamask

Publish date: 2022-10-09

A Spooky Message Unmasked is the Special Research questline for the 2020 Halloween event in Pokémon Go.

Braving this uncanny questline will reward you with the chance to catch both Spiritomb and Galarian Yamask, which you can then evolve into Runerigus. Since regular Yamask can only evolve into Cofagrigus, completing A Spooky Message Unmasked is the best way to add Runerigus to your Pokédex.

A Spooky Message Unmasked is the sequel to the previous Halloween Special Research questlines, A Spooky Message, released in 2018 and 2019.

How 'A Spooky Message Unmasked' works in Pokémon Go

Research quests, which allow players to complete various challenges for rewards, were released in March 2018. There are three different categories of research quests - Field Research, Timed Research and Special Research.

A Spooky Message Unmasked is a Special Research questline and follows the Pokémon Go tradition of having a Halloween themed questline. Previous questlines, titled A Spooky Message, rewarded players with a Spiritomb encounter and A Spooky Message Unmasked does this, while also giving trainers the chance to catch a Galarian Yasmask.

Due to its status as Special Research, there's no deadline for completing A Spooky Message Unmasked. We do recommend, however, logging into Pokémon Go during the 2020 Halloween event to ensure that you unlock this Special Research questline.

A Spooky Message Unmasked is divided into four steps, which will consist of three separate challenges. Each challenge and overall stephas it's own set of rewards, which includes an encounter with both Spiritomb and Galarian Yamask.
