Pokemon Go Field Research was a major addition to the game in 2018, it introduced an easy way of gaining more and doing less and in turn, keep invested in the world of Pokemon Go. With the start of a new year, new field research has started and this Pokemon GO January Field Research will help you finish the tasks.
To get the Field Research missions the player needs to Spin Pokestops. There is a limit of three active per player and each Pokestop gives tasks once a day. Completing tasks and turning them in gives players awards for each individual task, but once per day you get a stamp for the first task you submitted that day.
Collect seven stamps for seven different days, each stamp is marked with the date, and players get an encounter with a special Pokemon, free stardust, items and free XP (experience points) awards.
You can save completed tasks to be submitted another day. On Jan. 1, the reward for completing a week’s worth of stamps was changed to Lapras with its legacy move set, Ice Shard and Ice Beam, this is not the ideal attacker for raids and gym but is more than useful in pvp(player vs player).
In addition to these, the field research tasks lead to research breakthroughs(these are the stamp awards that we discussed earlier)and special research tasks help you find never before seen Pokemons including the highly coveted Mythical Pokemon Mew.
The special research tasks are story-driven quest lines, with the first being ‘A Mythical Discovery’, with the arrival of the game’s first Mythical creature – Mew – as the end reward.
