pokemon go audino header

If you’re looking for a roundup of all the Pokemon Go Field Research tasks in August 2024, we’ve broken them down into categories, alongside details of the Research Breakthrough rewards you can earn.

Field Research is a long-running feature in Pokemon Go that gives Trainers a variety of tasks to complete to earn rewards. Completing seven tasks over seven days will result in a Research Breakthrough, which is a guaranteed encounter with a desirable Pokemon.

These Field Research tasks incorporate various elements of gameplay. Some will ask you to catch different types of Pokemon, others require you to take part in Raid Battles , and a few will task you with earning Candies or Hearts with your Buddy .

For August 2024, Trainers can earn an encounter with Hisuian Growlithe, Larvitar, Audino, Axew, Furfrou, and Jangmo-o as a Research Breakthrough. These are quite rare creatures in Pokemon Go, so it’s worth catching as many as possible during the Shared Skies season festivities.

What is Field Research in Pokemon Go?

Field Research is a series of tasks that are obtained by spinning a PokeStop or Gym . Players looking to rack up rewards will have to travel as they are only able to complete one task a day for each location.

Each task contains an objective, and trainers are given a reward for achieving it. Rewards can range from items like Poke Balls to encounters with specific Pokemon, which you can see in the tables above.

How do I unlock a Research Breakthrough?

To unlock a Research Breakthrough and get an encounter with the current month’s Pokemon, you’ll need to complete one Field Research task every day for seven days . The good news is they don’t have to be consecutive days, so you could do this over the space of a month if you wanted to.

Once you’ve completed a task, make sure you claim the reward on the Field Research progress page to earn a stamp. You can only earn one stamp per day, but completed tasks can be saved up and claimed at a later date to earn a stamp.

Once seven stamps have been earned, you can claim your Research Breakthrough reward by opening the package that appears at the top of the Field Research progress page.

How to get a Research Breakthrough in Pokemon Go

There are six potential Research Breakthrough encounters in August: Hisuian Growlithe, Larvitar, Audino, Axew, Furfrou, and Jangmo-o. They will be rewarded randomly, so you can’t predict which Pokemon you’ll get.

You’ll need to earn your seventh Field Research stamp and claim your big reward before the end of the season if you want to get one of these Pokemon, as a different set of rewards could take over then.

If you earn a stamp every day in August, you’ll be able to earn up to four Research Breakthroughs, meaning you’ll get the chance to catch four of these Pokemon, which is a great way to stock up on Candy.

Is there a Shiny Research Breakthrough in Pokemon Go?

According to the official season hub for Pokemon Go’s Shared Skies season, all of the Pokemon listed as Research Breakthrough rewards are available to get in Shiny forms, making them perfect targets for players who value rare and hard-to-get ‘mons.

Field Research Breakthrough Shiny rates

Just like most species, Pokemon encounters from Field Research and Breakthrough rewards have a Shiny rate of around 1 in 450 . While not the best odds, it’s still better than most of the mainline RPGs.

If you want to increase your chances of finding a Shiny variation, make sure you don’t miss a single day of Field Research, as you’ll be able to get up to four Research Breakthrough encounters this way.

Research are a new element of Pokémon GO. At all times, you can complete a various amount of missions. These missions are based on simply doing activities within the game such as winning Gym Battles, catching specific Pokémon and so forth. These come with various rewards such as Rare Candy, Potions, TMs and more.

Field Research is the more general of the Research tasks. These are obtained by spinning PokéStops. Each PokéStop will give a specific research task to all players each day, but Gyms do not give them. The tasks players receive is the same and the PokéStop changes it up each day. Players can store up to 3 Research tasks at any one time, but can delete any they wish. They can get that task again by spinning the same PokéStop. Each Field Research task has a special reward, decided at random, for completion. These include items such as Rare Candy, Poké Balls, Berries and even Pokémon encounters. These Pokémon are over Level 15 with IVs of 10 or higher in each stat. Each task will have the same rewards for all players.

Field Research can be completed in any number in any way players like, however for the first bit of Research completed each day, players will receive a special stamp. 7 stamps lead to Research Breakthroughs.

There is also some special which will only appear at certain times

When you have collected 7 stamps through Field Research, you get a Research Breakthrough. This is a special box that has a variety of different things in. It has rarer items, stronger Stardust and most notably, the ability to capture even rarer Pokémon including Legendary Pokémon.

Spinning PokéStops gives players a Field Research Task to complete. Each stop gives a task once a day, and players can hold up to three tasks at once.

Upon completing a task, players will get a stamp marked with the date. After getting seven stamps from seven different days, players encounter a special Pokémon, as well as get Stardust, items , and some XP as rewards.

Players can turn in multiple tasks a day but will only receive one stamp for the first task they complete that day. After completing a task, you can wait to turn it in, if you want to save the stamp for another day.

Special Research List

Special Research Lines come in two main flavors: Unlimited and Limited. Unlimited lines unlock at specific points in the game, and  are available to complete at the player's leisure. Limited lines have specific requirements to unlock such as playing during a specific time period, and may or may not have a time-limit. 

Unlimited Special Research

field research tasks pokemon go

Research System Breakdown

Research Tasks are divided into four categories:

  • Field Research - Single-objective goals such as spinning PokeStops and catching Pokemon that reward items and one "stamp" (1 per day). These are the tasks outlined above.
  • Special Research - Story based multi-objective goals such as catching and transferring Pokemon that have unknown rewards
  • Paid Research  - Similar to Special Research, but a ticket must be purchased in order to actually enjoy these Research lines. These are frequently tied to events or seasons.
  • Research Breakthrough - Rewards based on collecting stamps that reward Stardust, items, and a Pokemon encounter. 

Task Mechanics

A trainer can hold up to 3 tasks at a time, 4 including an AR task. Also, trainers can trash a task if they do not want to try to complete it.

Trainers receive tasks from spinning PokeStops, and each Pokestop gives the same task to all trainers during the day. If the reward is an encounter, all trainers receive the same species (though IVs will differ). If you get a task on Monday from a stop and don’t clear it until Tuesday, you will not be able to get a task from that same PokeStop on Tuesday as once you receive a task, you will not receive another one from that PokeStop. However, if you delete a task, you can go back to that stop later in the day to get it again.

Various events frequently have their own unique set of tasks with event-themed rewards. Community Days in particular bend the Research rule a bit, as the research assigned to each Stop for the day changes to Community Day-themed research for the duration of the event, and revert back to normal after the event. Note that completing research from a given stop at any point during a given day will cause it to remain claimed for the rest of said day regardless of event-themed task changes. 

Tasks give a variety of rewards, often based on the challenge you had to complete. Rewards can be encounters, Stardust, or items such as balls, potions, revives, TMs, and Rare Candy. Generally, more difficult tasks will have higher rewards.

Encounters from tasks are level 15 Pokemon with IVs of at least 10 in all 3 stats. After clearing an encounter task, you will be taken to the encounter. The Pokemon will not be weather boosted regardless of the in-game weather. You can run from the encounter and come back to it in the future.

Once you clear an encounter task, you can immediately collect a new task. Interestingly enough, you can save a large number of encounters! Some trainers do this and choose to catch them during a Lucky Egg or Star Piece session.

Each day when you complete your first task, you receive a Research Stamp. When you have 7 stamps, you will receive a Research Breakthrough.

Research Breakthrough rewards change each season.

General Tips

Special research tasks do not give a daily stamp - only field research does Minimum level for Special Research is level 5 Pokemon encounters appear to be at level Many players have a “refill loop” or “grind loop” of stops and gyms in their PoGo lives, often one they hit multiple times each day.. If you have the option, add a second loop. Having multiple loops will greatly increase the number of tasks seen Try to keep one open task so you can always pick a new one up when you visit a Pokestop for the first time in a day. Find a network of players to report tasks, perhaps through your raid chat of choice. You won’t be able to check every stop, so if people call out TM, Rare Candy or Chansey quests it can really help. Some communities have focused on calling out Charmander encounter quests. This is a great way to farm high IV Pokemon before a community day. Some encounters have very large hit-boxes. Save these for when you are working on a 3 excellent or 3 great throw in a row quest. Try not to hold more than 1 long term quest. Remember there is an opportunity cost to holding 3 “Catch a Ditto for 3 Rare Candy” tasks. Obviously the payoff is awesome, but in the meantime you are missing out on so many other potential rewards from other tasks you cannot get. Don’t miss a day of Research Progress. If you don’t think you can play much tomorrow, leave one task unclaimed today. Tomorrow you can wake up, claim the task, and make progress towards your Research Breakthrough. Consider weather, biome, and active events when deciding whether to keep or delete a task. You likely aren’t going to quickly complete the “3 Pidgey or Murkrow” task on a sunny day during a rock event, but you should blow through “catch 5 Pokemon with Weather Boost” on a cloudy day during a fighting event. If you don’t throw excellents well, it’s not the end of the world to toss a task requiring an excellent throw. Holding on to tasks without substantial rewards for a long period of time is a big mistake. In general, take your playstyle into account when deciding to keep or delete a task. Do you battle gyms constantly? Then the Minium task isn’t bad as you will quickly turn it over. Did you already use your raid pass for the day? Then don’t hold on to that “Defeat a level 3 raid for some potions” type tasks. Free to play? Then the hatch 3 eggs” quest is probably an easy one to delete. Have a task that you know you cannot complete quickly at a stop near your house? Well trash that task while you grind. Then as you return home you can grab it later in the day. That way you can cycle through more tasks without it clogging your inventory. Remember that reward encounters and the Research Breakthrough reward have a 0% flee rate. Use pinaps liberally! Keep track of local nests. “Catch 3 Bugs” is much easier when you know there is a Caterpie nest a couple blocks away.

What is Research in Pokémon GO?

Research is a feature in Pokémon GO that gives Trainers the opportunity to help Professor Willow with his Pokémon Research. Completing a Research Task will unlock rewards. The more challenging a task, the greater the reward will be.

There are two types of Research you can contribute to: Field Research and Special Research .

What is Field Research ?

Field Research tasks are assigned/collected by spinning PokéStops. Trainers can only receive and complete one task from each PokéStop each day. Tasks are the same for all trainers on a given day so you can share PokéStop locations for a desirable task with others in your community.

The task will consist of an objective and a reward for completing it. Rewards range from Items to Pokémon encounters. If the task awards items, it will disclose what item and quantity on the task itself. If it’s an encounter, it won’t. Instead you can refer to the handy graphic on this page.

The first Field Research task you complete for a day will reward you with a Stamp towards unlocking a Research Breakthrough .

How do I unlock a Research Breakthrough ?

You can unlock a Research Breakthrough by collect 7 Stamps. Again, Stamps are obtained from your first completed Field Research task for the day. Unlike the ‘First PokéStop of the Day’ or ‘First Catch of the Day’ streaks, you do not need to collect Stamps on consecutive days. You won’t ever lose stamps you earned because you missed a day.

Upon reaching 7 Stamps, you can open the box and earn a handful of helpful Rewards. Rewards will consist of a Pokémon encounter, XP, Stardust and will include one of the following items: Rare Candy, Pinap Berries, Ultra Balls, or Poké Balls.

What is Special Research ?

Special Research is like Field Research but they can be thought of as part of the game’s Story. Like Field Research they consist of tasks that you work through to earn Rewards. However in Special Research completing a set of task will earn you additional rewards. Completing all sets of tasks in the series will earn you a more valuable reward. eg. A Mythical Pokémon encounter.

While, Trainers cannot repeat Special Research tasks, Professor Willow will occasionally seek assistance with new tasks. Special Research can also be assigned at Special Events like GO Fest in Chicago or during in-game Events like Pokémon GO Halloween 2018.

What are the CP numbers next to the Pokémon in the graphic?

That is the range of possible CPs that your Pokémon encounter could be. The highest is Perfect IVs and the lowest is not so perfect IVs.

What is the Sparkle next to some Pokémon in the graphic?

The sparkle indicates that there is a chance of encountering that Pokémon in their Shiny form. The chance of encountering a Shiny from a Field Research task is 1 in 450. However they could possibly be higher for certain encounters (eg. Absol).

GO Big event research tasks and bonuses in Pokémon Go

Dynamax Pokémon have truly arrived in Pokémon Go!

The GO Big event celebrates the release of Max Battles in Pokémon Go , meaning you can finally start properly building your Dynamax Pokémon collection!

Last week saw the arrival of the first Dynamax-related mechanics in Pokémon Go - with Power Spots where you can collect Max Particles appearing on the map and the ' To the Max! ' quest granting you the chance to earn your first Dynamax Pokémon . Now, however, it's time to put those Dynamax Pokémon to the test as GO Big sees the first round of one-star bosses appearing in Max Battles .

Alongside these new battles, you can also complete the GO Big event-exclusive research tasks and the new quest steps released for Galar Calling .

On this page:

GO Big field research tasks in Pokémon Go

You can collect event-exclusive research tasks by spinning PokéStops during the GO Big event in Pokémon Go. These tasks can then be saved in your field research collected and completed after the event is finished if you so choose.

Keep in mind that the Pokémon encounters you earn from these tasks are for normal Pokémon - you can only earn Dynamax Pokémon through the ' To the Max! ' quest and Max Battles - and MP stands for Max Particles.

Here are the GO Big field research tasks in Pokémon Go:

  • Collect MP from a Power Spot reward - Skwovet or Wooloo encounter
  • Collect MP from 3 Power Spots reward - Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle encounter
  • Collect 100 Max Particles reward - 500 Stardust, 2 Revives and 2 Super Potions
  • Collect 400 Max Particles reward - Skwovet or Wooloo encounter
  • Win a Max Battle reward - Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle encounter

Thank you to Amiibofan101 from reddit for the help with this information.

field research tasks pokemon go

The Max Out Season is here! The GO Big is currently running in Pokémon Go. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles . First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest . 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 .

Everything we know about GO Big in Pokémon Go

GO Big is running until Sunday 15th September at 8pm (local time) in Pokémon Go and two bonuses are live during this time. The first sees you earning double XP from spinning PokéStops and the second offering double XP for winning a Max Battle.

This last bonus is perfect for GO Big, because this event marks the release of Max Battles in Pokémon Go! Finally, you can battle Dynamax Pokémon at Power Spots and, if you win, capture these Pokémon, so you can transform them into powerful Pokémon. Just make sure you've completed at least the first quest step of ' To the Max! ' first, because doing so will reward you with a Dynamax Wooloo. Since you need a Dynamax Pokémon to partake in Max Battles, this sheep is crucial to beginning your Dynamax Pokémon collection.

The following Pokémon will be appearing in one-star Max Battles:

These Pokémon can be evolved, retaining their Dynamax ability, and you may even catch a shiny version of these Dynamax Pokémon! Keep in mind that both Dynamax Wooloo and Skwovet are 'To the Max!' quest rewards, so it's a good idea to focus on the Max Battles for the Gen 1 starter Pokémon.

GO Big also marks the release of a new section of Galar Calling , so, if you're up-to-date with this quest, get ready for a new selection of quest steps. If you're not, make sure you catch up on this quest to ensure you don't fall behind!

Finally, there will, of course, be PokéStop Showcases running throughout this event.

Good luck in Max Battles and hope you enjoy GO Big!

Pokémon Go, Go Big – All Dynamax encounters, event bonuses, and Field Research tasks

Image of Zack Palm

The first major Dynamax Pokémon Go event has made its way to the mobile game, allowing players to engage in Max Battles. If a player completes a Max Battle, there’s a Dynamax Pokémon available for them to catch at the end.

Only a handful of Dynamax Pokémon are available at a set time. You can track them down by finding them at Power Spots, but only if you have enough Max Particles . With this first event, plenty of rewards are going out to everyone to join in on these Dynamax encounters. Here’s a full breakdown of every Dynamax encounter, all event bonuses, and the Field Research tasks available in Pokémon Go ‘s Go Big event.

All Go Big Dynamax Encounters in Pokémon Go

How to Dynamax Pokémon in Pokémon Go

The Power Spots have been vacant up until this point. With the arrival of the Go Big event in Pokémon Go , Power Spots are about to receive Dynamax Pokémon that players can challenge. Up to four players can work together to defeat the Dynamax Pokémon . However, a requirement is to have a Dynamax Pokémon themselves. If you haven’t already, complete the Max Out Special Research , which rewards you with a Dynamax Wooloo to use at Power Spots. The Go Big event will start on Sept. 10 at 10am in your local time zone and goes until Sept. 15 at 8pm.

These are all the Dynamax Pokémon Battles making their debut during the Go Big event in Pokémon Go . We have added an asterisk (*) next to their names to indicate there’s a chance you might encounter a Shiny version of this Pokémon. Niantic has confirmed that players can catch a Shiny Dynamax Pokémon after completing a Power Spot.

All Go Big event bonuses in Pokémon Go

There are a handful of passive bonuses available during the Go Big event in Pokémon Go . These are available to all players, regardless of whether they participate in the activities released during the event. However, engaging in Dynamax battles at Power Spots is recommended if you want to receive the most rewards.

  • Twice as much XP for winning Max Battles
  • Twice as much XP for spinning PokéStops

All Go Big Field Research tasks in Pokémon Go

When spinning PokéStops or Gyms during the Go Big event, a handful of notable Field Research tasks are available for a limited time. These Field Research tasks involve several notable features of the current Pokémon Go event and provide rewards centered around the featured Pokémon, namely, standard versions of Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Skwovet, and Wooloo. These are all the Field Research tasks and their rewards during the Go Big event in Pokémon Go .

Research tasks

Research

Research tasks are a game mechanic that offers rewards for Trainers who complete various task objectives. [1] Many of these tasks focus on skill and execution rather than depending on random chance.

  • 2.3 Special Research
  • 2.4 Timed Research
  • 2.5 Daily Research
  • 3 Stamps and Research Breakthrough
  • 6 External links
  • 7 References

Research page [ ]

Research page is accessible from the Map View . Its icon is aligned above the Nearby tab in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Research page is divided into three tabs:

  • Field tab which includes Field Research tasks and Research Breakthrough stamp progress,
  • Special tab which includes ongoing Special Research campaigns and list of completed ones
  • and Today View tab which includes Timed Research campaigns, bonuses for current events , daily PokéCoins and Daily Bonuses progress.

Initially, the Research Breakthrough stamp progress section was present at the top of the Research page and the tabs with Field and Special research were below it, thus the Breakthrough progress was displayed regardless of which kind of research tasks were viewed at the moment. It was misguiding and got changed with later updates — Breakthrough section was moved to the Field tab.

Research tasks and rewards [ ]

There are plenty kinds of Research tasks that work slightly different.

Field Research [ ]

Field Research are tasks that can be gathered by spinning Photo Discs of PokéStops ( Gyms do not give tasks). Each PokéStop can only give one task per day. Each PokéStop changes the tasks at 00:00 AM local time per day. Once the Trainer has completed that PokéStop's task for the day, a small icon is displayed in the top right corner of the PokéStop's Photo Disc view.

Field Research tasks have objectives that include catching certain Pokémon , performing basic actions in the game or battling in Gyms or Raid Battles . These tasks are directed as more casual so players can complete them in 15 to 30 minutes. [2]

While Special Research tasks have specific rewards for each task and each set of tasks, for Field Research there seems to be variety of different rewards for each task completed. The more difficult the task, the greater the reward. Trainer can have up to three Field Research tasks at a time, but they can be also cancelled at any time, so other tasks can be gathered (trainer can obtain the deleted one from the same PokéStop during the same day). There is no limit to the number of research tasks that can be completed each day. [1] It is possible to obtain multiples of the same task from different PokéStops during the same day; in this case, a single action will count towards progress for both of them.

Beginning in 2019, there has been a Research Day event. During the event, PokéStops will assign tasks to Trainers and reward them with a featured Pokémon. The Pokémon that is rewarded will have a chance to be shiny .

Example Field and Bonus Research tasks

Bonus Research [ ]

Daily, the Trainer receives a bonus Field Research task automatically. The tab is made light green in color to be recognized. A fourth slot will be opened for the bonus task if the three Field Research tabs are filled. However, if all four Field Research slots are filled, Trainer won't receive the bonus task. [3]

This feature was introduced on April 30 th , 2020. The research was the same for all Trainers on the first day, but then it can vary.

Special Research [ ]

Special Research are campaigns split into parts with sets of unique tasks requested by Professor Willow himself. Each Special Research task can be completed only once per player and for each set of Special Research tasks there are unique special rewards. [1]

Example of Special Research tasks set

Timed Research [ ]

Partner Research

Partner Research

Since May 2020, there is an additional kind of Research campaigns called Timed Research that works very similar to Special Research campaigns however its accessibility is limited for a specific period of time after which Timed Research is gone and no longer accessible regardless of the Trainer's progress on it. Unlike Special Research campaigns these kind of Research sets can be viewed in Today View tab instead of Special Research tab. Since Season of Alola , a ticketed Timed Research called Partner Research was implemented. The tickets could be acquired with partners.

Example of Timed Research tasks set

Daily Research [ ]

Today View PokéCoins

Daily Research

Daily Research is a feature that allows Trainer to obtain few more PokéCoins for completing whole set of Daily Research tasks. It is currently tested in several countries, including: Australia, Germany, New Zealand and Taiwan.

PokeCoin

Following tasks were reported to appear in Daily Research:

  • Catch a Pokémon.
  • Transfer a Pokémon.
  • Evolve a Pokémon.
  • Power up a Pokémon.
  • Use a Berry to help catch a Pokémon.
  • Make a Nice Throw.
  • Make a Great Throw.
  • Make an Excellent Throw.
  • Win a Raid.
  • Defeat Team GO Rocket grunt.

Stamps and Research Breakthrough [ ]

Research Breakthrough

Research Breakthrough

Trainers can earn one Stamp per-day by claiming the reward from a Field Research task. Once seven stamps have been obtained, a Research Breakthrough can be achieved. [1]

The stamp is earned upon claiming the task's reward, not when the task is completed, so if you complete two tasks in a day, you can opt to save one to get another stamp for tomorrow by not claiming one of them. For Pokémon appearance rewards, tapping claim reward will give you the stamp, not when you actually catch them.

These breakthroughs offer rewards such as randomly given items and a chance to encounter a Pokémon .

It is currently unknown what is the purpose of Special Research stamps that are present in the game files, as only Field Research stamps can be currently obtained by players.

Official annoucement

  • Few mentions about this game feature was found in the game code few times before it was finally implemented and released, by the name ' quests '.
  • The research feature launched on March 30 th , 2018. [4]
  • According to game creators , research tasks are designed to be exciting and promote exploration with skillful challenges so that encountering Pokémon should never feel like a chore. [2]
  • Hence, the weather icon is now placed above the compass icon.
  • The same Field Research task can be obtained from one, particular PokéStop during the day, so more than one player can have the same task with the same reward simultaneously, and if discarded it will only give the same task during that day.
  • Now as tabs has been moved to the top of the page, the Research Breakthrough progress graphic with stamps is visible only in the Field Research tasks tab and not any more above Special Research tasks.
  • Pokémon encounters from Field Research are considered to be caught at the location of the PokéStop the task is obtained.
  • Unlike the Field Research tasks, there is no possibility to cancel nor skip any of Special Research tasks in order to complete the set of tasks.
  • More than one set of Special Research tasks can be completed within a day.
  • Special Researches related with Trading , sending Gifts and making Friends are pre-completed for Trainers under age of 13, since these don't have access to such game features .
  • A yellow "EVENT" tag has been added to event-exclusive Field Research tasks since Lunar New Year 2021 .
  • Field Research rewarding Mega Energy has added the icon of Pokémon since August 12 th , 2021. [5]

What are Pokémon GO research tasks?

Research tasks in Pokémon GO are objectives you can complete for rewards. As you can see, most of the objectives are from simply playing the game, like catching and evolving Pokémon, participating in Raids, and spending time with your Buddy Pokémon.

You can pick up these research tasks from spinning PokéStops, but they are also added to your tasks at midnight local time. You can complete as many as you’d like in a day.

New Research Tasks

At the beginning of a new month, a new round of research tasks will be introduced for players to complete. Make sure to finish all of yours before the reset, as you won’t be able to complete them once they’re gone.

That’s everything you need to know about the January 2024 research tasks for Pokémon GO. Be sure to check out how to get Mewtwo in Pokémon GO and how to get Sinnoh Stones in the game so you can be the best trainer your city has seen.

Master Pokémon GO Research

Master Pokémon GO Research

Research is the newest craze in Pokémon GO , and you’ll find it makes finding wild Pokémon even more fun and rewarding. Research is the new key to finding powerful Pokémon, rare items, and even encountering Legendary and Mythical Pokémon!

Whether you’re new to research or looking to make the most of this exciting new feature, we’re here to help. Read on to maximize your rewards from both Field Research and Special Research.

Research 101

There are two types of research that Trainers can help Professor Willow with: Field Research and Special Research. Field Research spans almost every activity in Pokémon GO. These tasks can be found by visiting PokéStops, and you can complete lots of them each day. The rewards vary—even for the same task—including almost any item, Stardust, or even an encounter with a wild Pokémon. Harder tasks normally yield better rewards.

Special Research requires more effort to complete, and these tasks will be assigned to you by Professor Willow himself. He’ll pop up in the app whenever he has a new research task for you to take on. You can check your current research tasks by tapping the binoculars icon above Nearby Pokémon. Each Special Research task can be completed only once.

The first batch of Special Research quests focuses on Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region. It won’t be easy, but the grand prize is worth working for—a chance to catch Mew, the first Mythical Pokémon available in Pokémon GO! You’ll also earn fantastic items as you complete stages of Special Research, including Rare Candy, Stardust, and XP.

Plan Ahead for Special Research

Each player receives the same Special Research tasks from Professor Willow in the same order, so you can complete several objectives more easily with some planning.

First, be ready to trigger some tough Evolutions. For example, if you plan on catching Mew, you’re going to need to evolve Magikarp, so conserve your Magikarp Candy. You’ll need to evolve a Magikarp into Gyarados as part of Mew’s Special Research (you must do this during Special Research—having already evolved a Magikarp into a Gyarados prior to taking on the Special Research task won't satisfy the requirement), and at 400 Magikarp Candy per Evolution, you don’t want to be caught empty-handed. You’ll also need to be level 25 and have 100 Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region registered in your Pokédex, so be sure to track down any Nearby Pokémon you haven’t registered.

You’ll need to deal with many other tasks as they come around, and there are more tricks to speed things along. Don’t forget that different Buddy Pokémon find Candy at different rates, so you might want to switch to a buddy like Swablu or Wailmer that finds Candy every kilometer if you’re looking to rush things along. And if you’re the type of player who normally only takes on Raids against Legendary Pokémon, don’t forget that you can complete research tasks with easier Raids that can be completed by smaller groups.

Complete Field Research Daily

Completing Field Research won’t get you any closer to Mew, but Research Breakthroughs provide some serious motivation to head out into the field. The first Field Research task you complete each day will net you a special stamp. You’ll make a Research Breakthrough each time you collect seven of these stamps, and with each breakthrough comes some fantastic rewards.

The most exciting reward for making a Research Breakthrough is an encounter with a rare Pokémon. As of this posting, the Legendary Pokémon Moltres awaits dedicated researchers—but different Pokémon could be available in the future. Moltres is exceptionally rare, and Moltres Candy is hard to come by, so take advantage of this opportunity. You’ll also score a bounty of XP, Stardust, and some items.

Don’t worry if you miss a day of Field Research. Unlike the streaks for catching Pokémon and for visiting PokéStops, your progress toward a Research Breakthrough won’t be reset if you can’t go exploring one day. Field Research tasks don’t count as complete until you accept their reward, so you can even finish a Field Research objective one day and then turn it in the next day to earn a quick stamp.

Rack Up Rare Candy

Undertaking research is also a great way to earn some Rare Candy—one of the most valuable items in Pokémon GO. Rare Candy can become any other type of Candy, helping you to power up or evolve whichever Pokémon you like. Raid Battles were previously the only way to collect Rare Candy, but now you can also earn some through research.

You’ll sometimes earn a few Rare Candy when you make Research Breakthroughs. You can receive five more by completing enough Special Research tasks. Certain Field Research tasks may also reward this incredible item—make sure to complete these tasks if you receive them!

Don’t Fear Missing Out

It’s fun to try to complete each Field Research task you’re given, but remember that you can only hold up to three tasks at once. If a task seems too tough to complete for its reward, you can drop it by tapping the trash can icon in the upper-right corner of the task.

Be discerning if you get a bunch of tasks to catch Pokémon you rarely see. There’s no penalty for dropping Field Research tasks, and you can retrieve them at the same PokéStop you got them from until the end of the day if you change your mind.

The Pokémon in Question

If you see a question mark on some tall grass as a Field Research reward, you could be in for a treat. Once you finish your task, you’ll jump into an encounter with a wild Pokémon. Dozens of different Pokémon can be encountered this way, many of which were first discovered in the Kanto region—perfect for Mew’s Special Research.

It’s worth catching these Pokémon even if you happen to have some duplicates. Like Raid Bosses and Pokémon hatched from Eggs, Pokémon you encounter through Field Research tend to perform better in battle than other wild Pokémon do. These encounters aren't affected by the weather.

Field Research tasks can yield some extremely rare Pokémon. Think twice before discarding difficult Field Research tasks like “Catch a Dragon-type Pokémon,” “Win 5 Raids,” or “Make 3 Excellent Throws.” It might take you a while to complete them, but your hard work could lead to encounters with rare Pokémon like Dratini, Typhlosion, and Larvitar!

Research Efficiently

You can often complete tasks with similar objectives at the same time. This can be a great way to get lots of research done quickly—and it might encourage you to complete tasks you’d normally avoid, too.

Field Research tasks to make Nice, Great, or Excellent Throws or to throw Curveballs can be completed simultaneously. If you have Field Research tasks to make, Nice Throws, Great Throws, and Excellent Throws, making an Excellent Throw would advance all three quests at once.

If all your current tasks require you to make accurate throws, you may want to avoid catching the Pokémon. For instance, you could complete Field Research to make five Nice Throws by hitting the same Pokémon with five Nice Throws if it keeps breaking out of your Poké Balls. Large, feisty Pokémon like Nosepass and Onix make easy targets for this sort of task. Just don’t flee from the encounter yourself, which will void your progress.

That’s enough research about research—time to get out there. Good luck, Trainers!

Field Research FAQ: tips and tricks

Zeroghan

Research Tasks are tied to a particular PokeStop on a daily basis. PokeStops give out the same field research task per day to all players and you can’t complete the exact same quest twice. Resets at 00:00 local time, not UTC.

About Field Research encounters and their mechanics

If your Research reward is a Field Research encounter , be aware you will be catching a Level 15 Pokemon with same minimum IV values as Raid Bosses / Egg hatches (10/10/10) .

  • Field Research encounters are not boosted by weather  but they can be shiny, if the encountered specie can be shiny – there are reports of shiny Bulbasaurs and Magikarps left and right.
  • Pokemon caught via Field Research encounters don’t have a location.

About throws and Research Tasks

  • Throws count regardless of the outcome of the encounter. If the Pokemon flees, you still get the benefits
  • Great throws count as Nice throws
  • Excellent throws count as both Great and Nice throws

About raids and Research Tasks

  • Wiping / timing out in a raid counts towards completing a raid for your Field Research. In other words, you can complete Raid quests by losing/timing out multiple times to a boss with only your free Raid Pass.

General Research tasks tips

  • You can have duplicate tasks, this is not unusual
  • You can delay picking up rewards to get a future day stamp after midnight
  • Actions can count towards multiple tasks, this is not unusual
  • Battle in a gym is not the same thing as complete a raid
  • “Hatches don’t count towards catches” – aka hatching a Pokemon doesn’t count towards your catch quests
  • Evolving doesn’t count towards your catch quests
  • Catching a higher stage evolution counts towards quests that require a lower stage evolution

Things that don’t do something that you’d expect them to do

  • You can’t get a task if your bag is full (weird, we know)
  • Gyms don’t give Field Research missions, only PokeStops do
  • Completing a Special Research task doesn’t count towards your daily research Stamp
