Field research are missions collected one at a time by spinning a PokéStop, and will involve finding certain creatures, engaging in battles and other activities.

Every day PokéStops will give you a new quest, and each type of quest can have one of many different rewards, from previously Raid-exclusive consumables such as TMs and Rare Candy and common items such as Poké Balls.

Examples of quest types include:

• Catch one or two specific Pokemon (such as 3x Pidgey or Murkrow)
• Catch specific Types (such as catch 10x Normal Type Pokemon)
• Catch Weather -boosted Types
• Hatch a certain number of Eggs
• Battle in a Gym a certain number of times
• Battle in a Raid a certain number of times
• Evolve a certain number of Pokemon
• Make a certain number of specific throws (such as Nice, Great or Excellent)
• Spin a certain number of PokeStops

Some of these quest rewards even give you the chance to catch a mystery Pokémon. There's nothing exclusive here, but there does include uncommon and rare Pokémon, such as Tangela and Chansey, depending on the quest in particular.

As well as from a PokéStop, one additional research quest will also be added to your list at midnight local time. If you have a full roster of research, then you'll receive a fourth regardless - though if you still have four the following evening, no more will be added.

It's also worth knowing that, as of Thursday 1st June 2023 with the release of the Season of Hidden Gems , the quests and associated rewards now rotate on a seasonal basis. The only excpetion to this rule is the Spinda field research task. This means that both the field research tasks and rewards will remain the same for three months in total, only changing when a new season - both in Pokémon Go and real life - rolls around.

Finally, it's also worth knowing that if you pick up a quest, you are free to delete it and catch another by spinning another Pokéstop. You can also complete as many as you like in a day - so when you have space in your inventory, return to a PokéStop to start quest. Spin the same Pokéstop and you'll just get the same quest again though - Pokéstops give out set rewards, that are generally tailored to their location, which refresh every day at midnight. So if you want a new quest you'll need to spin another stop.

Event-exclusive field research tasks can also be saved in your field research collection and completed after said event ends.

Completing one Field Research quest per day will give you a stamp. Get seven stamps - which will take seven days - completes something known as a Research Breakthrough .

These have even greater rewards - including Stardust and Mystery Items - as well as an encounter with a very rare or Legendary Pokémon .

You'll also receive plenty of other items too - including a chance at Rare Candy, Pokéballs, Berries, 2,000 Stardust, 3,000 XP, and a Sinnoh Stone .

The best news about these Research Breakthrough catches is they cannot run away - it has a flee chance of 0 per cent - so the pressure is off. However, it has the same catch rate as normal, so be prepared for it to break out of your balls.

This means you can use Pinap Berries, or even use it as a chance to rack up some of the harder throwing-based Special Research streaks, without any risk of it running away.

It also comes with strong IVs, too, as if the Pokémon was appearing in a Raid encounter or Egg. It always appears at level 15, which is the same for all mystery Pokémon caught from Field Research rewards.

If you're curious, here is all the Research Breakthrough rewards so far:

Finally, the question is - when do the special reward Pokémon change in your Research Breakthrough progress? It's when you claim the reward for your final Field Research task.

So, you can complete the task, but just don't claim the reward for that task before 1pm PST / 9pm UK time of the first of the month, as doing so will activate the arrival of the Special Research reward at the top of the screen.

If it's before then, it'll be the reward for the month before (so in October 2018, this was Suicune). Wait until after, it'll be the next month's (so in November 2018, this is Shedinja).

To clarify further, this is when you complete the task, not open it. Even if you then open it after the change, it'll be the prior month's Pokémon. To be safe, wait until it's the new month if you want to get the latest creature.

The World of Wonders Season is coming to an end in Pokémon Go. Make a start on the Masterwork Research: Catching Wonders quest for a Master Ball , Glitz and Glam quest for a Diancie and catch up on the World of Wonders quest before it ends! Don't forget to try out Routes , Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon , fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases .

Special Research quests, meanwhile, are story-based questlines with unique rewards. Unlike Field Research quests, these are fixed objectives that every player will face, and appear in the game infrequently.

The first available is ' A Mythical Discovery ', with the arrival of the game's first Mythical creature - Mew - as the end reward.

Our A Mythical Discovery explains the eight steps required to unlock Mew, which includes finding specific Pokémon, participating in Raid and Gym battles, and reaching a certain Trainer level.

Since then we've seen more special research quests arrive for other mythical Pokémon, like Celebi and Meloetta , and ones themed around battling Team Go Rocket or investigating the Ultra Beasts. Ocassionally, you can even purchase a special research from the in-game Pokémon Go store, like Wish Granted , which will allow you to earn additional Pokémon, items or avatar clothing.

Make sure you're playing Pokémon Go regularly to ensure you're keeping up with all of the special research quests! Remember - since they don't have deadlines, you can complete these quests at your own pace.

Though the quest features are well explained in the game, there's some nuance that will help you get the most out of each objective you undertake.

• Completing one of the Special Research objectives will not add a daily stamp to your Research Breakthrough progress - it must be from a Field Research quest instead.
• You can cancel and complete as many Field Research quests as you want per day.
• As long as you have space for it, you will recieve one field research task automatically every day.
• It's possible to have multiple of the same Field Quest at once, and complete them all at the same time.
• Pokémon encounters from Research quests always feature Level 15 Pokémon, with the 66 per cent to 100 per cent IV spreads you also find in Raid or Egg encounters, and are unaffected by the weather.
• Certain Special Research quests (also known as Mew steps ) will be automatically completed if you complete their requirements since they are impossible to 'repeat', such as reaching a certain Trainer or medal level.

• You can spin the same PokéStop for Stop-spinning quests, and there is no difference between Gym Discs and PokéStop Discs when completing spin quests - though Gym Discs don't count towards "new Pokéstop" quests.
• You don't have to 'view' a quest in the quest screen to complete it, so if you don't have time to check what it is (if you're on a bus and there are PokéStops and Pokémon to catch quickly, for example) then it can wait - and if it's the right type of quest, you might have started work on it by the time you check it.
• Pokémon Go Plus can be used to collect quests from PokéStops and complete objectives.
• The mystery Pokémon you can catch after completing certain Field Research quests have the same high-end IV range as Egg and Gym Pokémon.
• You have to catch the mystery Pokémon in order to clear the research from your quest log - you can run away and come back, but you need to catch it to clear the quest, even if it's a rubbish Pokémon. Fleeing and trying again won't reset the Pokémon's stats, either - once it spawns, they're fixed.
• You can "cheese" the "Battle in X number of Raids" quests, by deliberately dodging your way through them until the timer runs out and retrying repeatedly. This is a great way to save on Raid Passes and complete the quest quickly, if you don't mind killing some time. Note that EX Raids do also count towards Raid quests, too.
• Catching evolved forms of Pokémon does count towards "Catch X number of Y Pokémon" quests. So I could catch a Gloom for a "Catch 2 Oddish" quest and it would count.

• Similarly, throwing better-tierd throws than required in ball-throwing quests counts too. So throwing a Great or Excellent Throw will count towards "Make 5 Nice Throws".
• You can miss days and not lose your streak of Stamps - it's just a cap of one Stamp that can be earned per day, not a "streak" that can be lost by missing a day, like the ones for spinning a Pokéstop or catching a Pokémon every day.
• Dittos count towards the types they're disguised as too - so a Ditto disguised as a Pidge will count towards "Catch 3 Pidgey" quests.
• Hatching and evolving Pokémon doesn't count towards catching tasks, you have to physically catch them in the wild or from Raid or mystery Pokémon encounters.
• You can indeed work towards two quests at once - so landing a Great Throw on a Pidgey will both count towards "Catch 3 Pidgey" and "Make 3 Great Throws" quests.
• You can delay claiming rewards for both Field and Special Research, although they'll need to be cleared before you get new ones. Delaying the rewards for you Special Research in particular is a good idea, as some of the later requests reward thousands of XP - it might be worth popping a Lucky Egg before claiming them all together.

Thanks to the Silph Road subreddit for filling in the gaps on some of the above.

Pokemon Let's Go is now out, which means the first in a likely series of crossovers with Pokemon GO has also launched. Players who want to earn a Meltan encounter in Pokemon GO have a new series of Special Research tasks to power through in the mobile game and we have the spoiler-filled details on every step of the journey right here.

Again, we should point out that players who would rather be surprised by the Let's Go, Meltan story should stop reading now. For those who want the details, the community at The Silph Road has once again taken the game to gather all of the essential data on the tasks and their rewards, so that players players can know what to expect from the storyline.

Here's a look at every task and reward associated with the Meltan Special Research...

In terms of difficulty, the Let's Go, Meltan chain is definitely going to provide a real challenge for some players with a few time consuming tasks. Things like "Battle in 10 raids" will either take players around a week or require them to spend some money on Premium Raid Passes , so that they can do more than one or two per day. The dreaded Catch a Ditto quest is back once again, but hopefully it's not as challenging this time around and Niantic will increase Ditto's spawn during the first few weeks of the research.

Players can begin the quest simply by logging into Pokemon GO and talking with Willow. After that, the challenge is on! Check back for more updates and guides in the coming days. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!

Pokemon GO is available now in select regions on Android and iOS devices.

Don't forget to spin all the Poke Stops during this event.

Pokemon GO is still celebrating the Season of Mischief and now it has moved onto the Festival of Lights event and with it has come a new set of exclusive Field Research tasks for you to complete.

Pretty much every event for a while included some sort of Special or Timed Research, but the last two events have not had anything, including the new Festival of Lights event.

While that is the case, there are still some Field Research tasks for you to complete though that are themed around the event itself.

Pokemon Go: New October 2020 Field Research Task List And Breakthrough Reward

A new month means new Field Research in Pokemon Go; here are all the tasks and rewards you'll find this month.

By Kevin Knezevic on October 19, 2020 at 7:20AM PDT

We're more than partway through October now, and it's already been another busy month for Pokemon Go . In addition to all the October events happening over the next few days, some new Field Research tasks are now live in the game. Many of this month's tasks revolve around Ghost- or Dark-type Pokemon, which is very fitting given that Halloween is looming just around the corner.

Along with the new Research tasks, a new Research Breakthrough reward is now available. Each time you achieve a Research Breakthrough this month, you'll get a chance to catch the Bug/Ghost Pokemon Shedinja. To achieve a Research Breakthrough, you'll need to collect seven stamps. You'll get one stamp for the first Field Research task you complete each day.

Pokémon Go Tour: Sinnoh is here, with the 2024 version of this event bringing several changes to the content on offer. That includes a set of Special Research where you need to pick between following paths based on Gen IV’s Diamond or Pearl version.

As Pokémon Go Tour events continue to evolve, Niantic has changed what version exclusive content is available through the Go Tour 2024: Road to Sinnoh Special Research. This is available for all players from Feb. 15 to 25 , as it ties into Go Tour: Sinnoh – Global. Depending on which version you pick you will get different rewards and bonuses , along with locking in an important encounter with Origin Forme Dialga or Origin Forme Palkia .

Just like with most split path Special Research, Pokémon Go Tour 2024: Road to Sinnoh has an opening page that remains the same before giving you the choice between Diamond and Pearl badges that contain different featured content. 

You should look into the different content available if you pick Diamond or Pearl version with this Special Research because it will impact certain elements of gameplay during Go Tour: Sinnoh – Global on Feb. 24 and 25 .
