At the end of the Season of Alola, a Special Research questline will be available to anyone who completed the four islands' questlines, including both Pokemon GO A Melemele Adventure and Pokemon GO An Akala Adventure that have been released. The special questline is obtainable starting on May 25, but the cutoff date for completion of the first four is June 1.

Anyone who doesn't complete the four questlines in time can buy a ticket in-game instead. It'll cost $4.99 or the equivalent in your local currency.

The next two sets of Special Research, which will probably feature Ula'ula Island and Poni Island, are set to release on April 12 and May 10, respectively. 

All these sets of Special Research are permanently available once you activate them, meaning you don't have to complete them by a certain time unless you want the end-of-season research. However, they can only be activated during the Season of Alola and not afterwards. 

The island guardian of Akala Island is Tapu Lele, so check out our Pokemon GO Tapu Lele guide for the perfect strategy to defeat them.
