If this goal is not reached, then this Pokémon will not appear during the event. Below you can find which Pokémon have been assigned to each and will be released if the one million goal is reached: One million Team Mystic trainers - Alolan Grimer One million Team Instinct trainers - Ferroseed One million Team Valor trainers - Alolan Marowak Alolan Grimer, Ferroseed and Alolan Marowak will be added to Go Fest 2020 if the goals are reached. Each Go Fest Weekly Challenge has its own set of unlockable goals, which means that completing all three of the challenge sets will help add even more rare Pokémon to Go Fest 2020. Currently live is the Evolving Stars event, which includes the release of quest steps 5 to 8 of A Cosmic Companion - the Season of Light special research quest. Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres. There's also a new special research quest - A Mysterious Incense. Finally - don't forget about the new Prime Gaming rewards every fortnight.
