- Up to five Special Trades can be made per day. This is significantly improved from the normal limit of one Special Trade per day, enabling Trainers to swap multiple Pokemon for reduced Stardust.
- Two additional Candy received when trading Pokemon. This pairs nicely with the Special trades bonus, enabling players to strongly benefit from trading Pokemon in general while the Party Up event is live.

In addition to the available Timed Research and Field Research, there will also be a Special Research story available for players who did not complete the Season-long Timed Investigation, granting a Master Ball as a reward upon completion.
Just as in any other Pokemon game, Master Balls are an extremely rare and useful item to keep up your sleeve, as using one will guarantee you a one hundred percent catch rate on any Pokemon you encounter. This can be extremely handy for snagging shinies or competitive ‘Mons with favorable IVs, so if you’re lacking one in your inventory, you should most definitely consider making this Special Research story one of your main priorities to complete for the Party Up event.
All Pokestop Showcases
Pokemon GO’s Party Up event will also present opportunities to showcase certain ‘Mons at Pokestop Showcases. Pokestop Showcases are mini-events in which Trainers submit their Pokemon to be featured at nearby Pokestops, where the top participants can earn a nice variety of handy rewards to further assist their day-to-day Pokemon GO adventures.
During the Party Up event, Pokemon GO will have opportunities to participate in Pokestop Showcases with the Paldean starters (Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly). Every Trainer who participates in one of these available Showcases will earn rewards varying from Pokeballs to Stardust, and XP. On top of these, the top three successful Trainers will receive more valuable rewards, such as Incubators or Star Pieces. Lastly, the number one Pokestop Showcase winner will receive a Medal in addition to all prizes received.
