The 7th Anniversary Party celebrates, unsurprisingly, the seventh anniversary of Pokémon Go’s release.
Throughout the 7th Anniversary Party, you can collect a variety of event-exclusive field research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go. You’ll also want to keep an eye on which bonuses are currently available and which Pokémon are appearing more frequently in the wild, because, during the 7th Anniversary Party, both will slightly change on a day-to-day basis.
There are also two pay-to-play research quests available during the 7th Anniversary Party, with the first being the 7th Anniversary Party timed research quest and the second being the return of the All-in-One #151 Masterwork Research quest.

By spinning PokéStops during the 7th Anniversary Party, you can collect event-exclusive field research tasks in Pokémon Go. These tasks can be saved in your field research collection and completed after the event ends if you so choose.
Here are the 7th Anniversary Party field research tasks in Pokémon Go:

The Pokémon Go 7th Anniversary Party sees the release of two new costume Pokémon – Party Hat Wartortle and Party Hat Blastoise. (Yay… more party hats…)
To get these new costume Pokémon, you need to evolve a Party Hat Squirtle. Thankfully the Community Day Classic event on Sunday 9th July between 2pm to 5pm (local time) will help you achieve this task as it will see Squirtle appearing more frequently in the wild. While these Squirtles won’t be wearing hats, they will help you collect the candy you need for the evolutions.
Before we leave the subject of Squirtle, the 7th Anniversary Party also sees the release of PokéStop Showcases where you can show off your biggest Squirtle!
Alongside these new costume Pokémon, there are to pay-to-play research quests available during the 7th Anniversary Party.
The first is the 7th Anniversary Party timed research quest, which, if you purchase it, you’ll have until Wednesday 12th July at 8pm (local time) to complete it. If you don’t complete this quest by this deadline, then you’ll be unable to claim all of its rewards.
