Steps of the ‘Primal Rumblings’ mission in Pokémon Go

Here you will find all the steps of the Primal Rumblings mission in Pokémon Go. This quest was originally released on Friday, February 17, but since it’s part of the lead-up to the Go Tour: Hoenn Global event, we thought it was worth including it here.

It’s worth noting that while this is a special research mission and can therefore be completed whenever you want, the ticket reward is only relevant to the Go Tour: Hoenn Global event. Because of this, there is a chance that this reward will be removed or replaced once this event passes.

We highly recommend completing the Primal Rumblings quest before Go Tour: Hoenn Global to ensure you are ready for the event.

Be warned, this section contains spoilers if you prefer to be surprised.
