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.

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 Shared Skies Season is here! The Strength of Steel event is currently running in Pokémon Go. Go Fest 2024 may have been and gone, but you can still play around with the Fusion mechanic. Meanwhile, ticket holders can finish Go Fest 2024: A Shadowy Caper and The Dusk Settles . 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 Go Field Research tasks & rewards for July 2024

If you’re looking for a roundup of all the Pokemon Go Field Research tasks in July 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 July 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. 

Completing the following tasks will get you one of the rewards listed in the right column . If there are multiple potential rewards, you’ll be given one of them at random.

Special shout-out to Go Hub for help with these details.

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 July: Hisuian Growlithe, Larvitar, Audino, Axew, Furfrou, 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 July, 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. 

All past Pokemon Go Research Breakthrough rewards

Interested in seeing all of the past ‘mons made available through Research Breakthroughs in Pokemon Go’s history? Take a look at the full list below:

2018 Research Breakthrough Rewards

2019 Research Breakthrough Rewards

2020 Research Breakthrough Rewards

2021 Research Breakthrough Rewards

2022 Research Breakthrough Rewards

2023 Research Breakthrough Rewards

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.

Pokemon Go Field Research tasks & rewards (July 2024)

Field Research is a core part of the Pokemon Go experience, as you can complete all sorts of tasks daily to find various Pokemon and grab useful items .

After a whole week of completing the Field Research tasks, you can also access the weekly Research Breakthrough Box for more exciting rewards and a mysterious encounter with a popular Pokemon.

What is Field Research?

Pokemon Go players can get new Field Research tasks by spinning PokeStops . You can only receive and complete one task from each PokeStop daily, with the same task for every player that spins that specific PokeStop.

Completing these tasks will reward players with items or a Pokemon encounter . While players can see the items they’ll receive beforehand, all the encounters look the same. Difficult tasks will grant access to rare encounters. You can check the full list of tasks with their encounters down below.

The first Field Research task players complete in a day will grant them a Research Breakthrough stamp. After seven days of completing Field Research tasks , players can open the Research Breakthrough box for a Pokemon encounter, XP, Stardust, and one of the following items: Rare Candy, Pinap Berries, Ultra Balls, Poke Balls, or a Remote Raid Pass .

The Shared Skies season of Pokemon Go has six potential encounters for Research Breakthrough : Hisuian Growlithe , Larvitar , Audino , Jangmo-o , Furfrou , or Axew . Lucky players might encounter their shiny versions.

All Field Research tasks & rewards

Catching tasks.

Throwing tasks

Battling tasks

Buddy & Friendship tasks

Miscellaneous tasks

It was confirmed that these Field Research tasks will remain active for the whole season instead of just this month. Also, keep in mind that special events can override these tasks and bring new ones for a limited time.

All Pokemon rewards can be shiny, except for Togedemaru, Wimpod, Sandygast, and Popplio. Pokemon encounters from Field Research tasks always feature Pokemon with minimum IVs set to 10/10/10, similar to Raid encounters and Egg hatches .

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

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.

Field Research Guide for Efficient Task Rewards

In this guide, you will find best practices and strategies for completing Field Research Tasks in Pokémon GO. There are a couple of different strategies to follow, depending on your overall goals in the game. In this guide we will cover strategies for the following goals.

Shiny Hunting

Stardust farming.

• Mega Energy Farming

Candy and XL Farming

Field research basics.

Field Research Tasks have been a main feature in Pokémon GO since March 2018. Over the years, the tasks have evolved and have become an integral part of the general play of the game. Research Tasks offer an opportunity to hunt a specific high IV Pokémon, outside of raiding or nesting functions. It is also an opportunity to hunt for specific in game resources like dust, berries, balls, candy, and mega energy. 

While some tasks are event specific, there is a general pool of tasks that does not change, and so specific strategies can be adopted in order to efficiently complete tasks according to your playstyle. For example, there is a “Win 5 Raids” task that will give you an encounter with Aerodactyl and as far as we know, this task is a constant in the game.

Aerodactyl as the reward may be changed in the future, but the task itself exists and will most likely continue to exist. A lot of the task rewards are changed on a monthly basis, so you will want to look out for future guides or consult wherever you find your research task news.

Tasks can offer Pokémon, stardust, or item rewards and you can hold three tasks at once. In most instances, item rewards like berries can be deleted immediately. Items like berries or Poké Balls are very common and are most likely a waste of energy and space.

You are most likely overloaded with these more common items already because you are spinning stops to do Field Research. The one exception to this would be rare items like Rare Candies or Silver Pinaps. 

There is also the AR scanning task that can be done, which grants an extra opportunity to receive rewards at stops. Essentially, you can check stops twice, but these tasks do require extra real world time and effort. If you have limited stops in your area though, this may be a good option to boost your reward opportunities. Leave a comment if you would like a guide specifically for this.

Monthly Research Tasks

These are tasks we’ve seen repeatedly available month after month. We expect them to be a main stay of Pokémon GO’s Field Research for the foreseeable future.

General Tips

• Complete easy tasks first and keep a mental tally of harder task locations to try and stack them later to complete multiple hard tasks at once.
• Prioritize getting a new task over catching as the next task may require it.
• Stack same or similar tasks as much as possible to complete them at the same time.
• Save walking-based tasks for the end of your research hunting to complete in the background using Adventure Sync.
• Delete berry and Poké Ball task rewards immediately for a new task. (Unless you are in need of them, rural trainers may prefer to keep hold of these tasks) 
• Save Pokémon in reward queue during lulls in spawns to complete tasks.
• Generally, avoid tasks that require catching specific type Pokémon, unless you have a guaranteed source for that specific type.
• Always stack power up tasks to save stardust.
• Avoid power up tasks unless you are hunting for that task’s specific reward (mega energy, shiny or 100% IV Pokémon). Powering up Pokémon is expensive and is a net loss, so make sure it’s worth it to you. 
• Power up Pokémon you plan on powering up to be most efficient, either for PvP or PvE.
• Power up level 1 Pokémon to save dust. Its only 200 dust per power up for the first couple of levels.

If limited on time, throw away tasks that do not have the desired reward to spin as many stops as possible looking for the desired task and reward. The compulsion to keep all tasks is prevalent in many people but resist this frame of thinking. You can always go back to a task before they reset at midnight.

If shiny hunting is your main play-style, then make sure to pay attention to event-based research tasks. These tasks will often be more prevalent and easier to stack. Event based tasks also often have increased shiny chances. Make sure to look up event specific guides to keep track of new tasks for new shiny chances!

As a rule, we suggest prioritising Stardust as much as possible as it is the most limited resource in the game. It can also help to remember that Pokémon rewards are also stardust rewards, as you are guaranteed at least 100 Stardust for catching the Pokémon and more for specific Pokémon or evolutions. 

Tasks that offer stardust as a reward are limited to the catching and throwing task list, with two exceptions being sending 3 Gifts to Friends and Spinning 3 PokéStops. This makes stardust hunting fairly easy, as you can continually progress these tasks as long as you have decent Pokémon spawns. It also makes it easy to stack similar tasks and complete multiple at one time.

One strategy that is utilized by some is to save Pokémon evolutions in the reward queue and wait for stardust event for maximum dust per Pokémon. This strategy is very good, but it can be hard to keep track of how many are in the queue and this takes away time from the event if there are specific spawns you want to catch.

This strategy also limits your ability to use the reward queue to supplement spawns for catching and throwing task completion. It is recommended to do preparations relatively close to events to prevent overloading your reward queue and to limit inference of your regular game play.

You can also use this same strategy and hunt tasks that reward Pokémon that give extra stardust when you catch them. For a full list of the Pokémon that give extra stardust, refer to our guide . Save these Pokémon in your reward queue and catch them during bonus stardust events that grant 2x or 3x Stardust for maximum stardust gains. Don’t forget to put on that star piece as well.

Mega Energy Farming 

An amazing addition to task rewards is the introduction of the rotating mega energy reward for powering up a Pokémon 10 times. One of the most frustrating aspects of mega evolutions, is the need to raid. Some players don’t have the funds to raid remotely, and it can be hard to find a party to take down mega raids these days using your free daily in person raid pass. There is also

These particular tasks seem to be fairly common at the time of this guides creation, which makes it easy to stack them and earn 75 mega energy for the Pokémon of the month with powering up a Pokémon 10 times. This will cost you about 2000 dust if using the level 1 Pokémon strategy.

If you need mega energy for the 3 starters (Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur), Beedrill, or Pidgeot, then you can also stack the catch 10 “type” Pokémon or the Power Up 5 Pokémon and get those. However, it may take a lot of time to find 10 of particular type of Pokémon, so it is up to you if you need to prioritize this Mega Energy or not.

Another limiting resource is Pokémon candy. You can use research tasks to catch specific Pokémon for any candy you may need and a chance to obtain XL Candy . You can also stack Pokémon in your reward queue and wait for double candy events to boost your candy gathering capabilities. There are also events that grant extra XL candy for transfers or trading, which can be utilized to your advantage.

This is especially useful for rare spawn Pokémon or research and raid locked Pokémon. The key is to know what tasks offer which Pokémon, which you will need to look at updated research task reward guides. 

There is also the opportunity to gain rare candy from a reward, which is nice for those that aren’t able to raid as much. Rare candy is a pretty common reward for raiding, and is probably not much of an incentive for those players able to raid a lot. Luckily, the task for gaining the rare candy are fairly easy.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Shadow Mewtwo

Pokemon go - world of wonders: taken over - all team go rocket lineups, pokemon go players want one feature from mega lucario raid to become standard.

Pokemon GO is constantly keeping the game updated with various timed events that bring forth a series of mechanics for players to utilize. From participating in special Raids to completing Research Tasks to earn rewards and encounters, there is usually something for all Trainers to enjoy.

On April 1, 2024, Pokemon GO will be running a 12-hour event titled 'An Excellent Opportunity.' - an event that focuses on making Excellent Throws during encounters with wild Pokemon . For this reason, knowing the Research that will be available and tasks that are to come during this event will be very helpful to know in advance, letting you plan your approach to the event ahead of time.

Pokemon GO's World of Wonders: Taken Over event offers an opportunity for trainers to capture a Shiny Shadow Mewtwo if they are lucky.

Pokemon GO: An Excellent Opportunity Event Details & Bonuses

Pokemon GO's An Excellent Opportunity event goes live on April 1, 2024 , and will run between 12 AM and 11:59 PM, local time . During this event, a special bonus will be put in place, turning any throws that are Nice Throws or better, into Excellent Throws . To reflect this event bonus, much of the Field Research Tasks and Timed Research also revolves around achieving Excellent Throws and can be completed to gain a variety of rewards.

As this event is only available for one day, the Research Tasks are thankfully kept pretty simplistic and easy to complete. For this reason, you should have no problems obtaining these rewards, as all of these Tasks can be achieved during regular wild encounters. If you're unable to head out and about or need some extra wild Pokemon to provide you with encounters and tally up your Excellent Throws, then stocking up on some Incense may be helpful.
