Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
This quest is themed around the ghost-type, Yamask, which was originally a human being. Due to its transformation, Yamask actually retains the memories of its human life and the mask it holds resembles its face from this time. If someone were to wear this mask, they would grant Yamask the ability to possess their body.
Mysterious Masks is constructed out of four quest steps, with each step containing three individual challenges. You’ll be rewarded for every challenge and overall step you complete until the quest is finished!
Good luck completing Mysterious Masks in Pokémon Go!
