October 2024 Pokemon Go Field Research Tasks and Rewards

If you’re searching for a comprehensive list of all the Pokémon Go Field Research tasks for October 2024, we’ve organized them into categories, along with the details of the Research Breakthrough rewards available to Trainers.

Field Research is a longstanding feature in Pokémon Go that offers Trainers a wide range of tasks to complete for valuable rewards. Completing seven tasks over a span of seven days leads to a Research Breakthrough, ensuring an encounter with a sought-after Pokémon.

These Field Research tasks encompass various gameplay elements. Some will require you to catch different types of Pokémon, others may ask you to participate in Raid Battles, and a selection will task you with earning Candies or Hearts with your Buddy Pokémon.

During October 2024, Trainers can earn encounters with Galarian Weezing, Galarian Mr. Mime, Scraggy, Jangmo-o, Furfrou, and Excadrill as part of their Research Breakthrough. Since these Pokémon are relatively rare in Pokémon Go, it’s beneficial to catch as many as possible throughout the Shared Skies season festivities.

What is Field Research in Pokémon Go?

Field Research is a collection of tasks that are obtained by spinning a PokéStop or Gym. Players aiming to accumulate rewards will need to travel, as each location allows for only one task completion per day.

Each task presents an objective, and Trainers receive a reward upon completion. Rewards may range from useful items like Poké Balls to encounters with specific Pokémon, which are listed in the tables above.

How do I unlock a Research Breakthrough?

To unlock a Research Breakthrough and earn an encounter with this month’s Pokémon, you need to complete one Field Research task each day for seven days. Fortunately, these days do not have to be consecutive, enabling you to spread them out over the month if desired.

Once a task is completed, be sure to claim the reward on the Field Research progress page to earn a stamp. You can collect only one stamp daily, but completed tasks can be saved and claimed later to earn stamps.

Upon accumulating seven stamps, you can claim your Research Breakthrough reward by accessing the package that appears at the top of the Field Research progress page.

How to get a Research Breakthrough in Pokémon Go

In October, there are various potential Research Breakthrough encounters: Hisuian Growlithe, Larvitar, Audino, Axew, Furfrou, and Jangmo-o. These Pokémon rewards are assigned randomly, so predicting which one you’ll receive is not possible.

To ensure you receive one of these Pokémon, you must earn and claim your seventh Field Research stamp before the conclusion of the season, or else a new set of rewards may take their place.

If you earn a stamp every day in October, you can accumulate up to four Research Breakthroughs, enhancing your opportunity to capture multiple Pokémon, which is a fantastic strategy for stockpiling Candy.

Similar to many Pokémon species, encounters from Field Research and Breakthrough rewards boast a Shiny rate of approximately 1 in 450. While these odds aren’t the best, they are still more favorable than most standard RPGs.

To enhance your chances of encountering a Shiny variant, ensure you don’t miss any days of Field Research, enabling you to attain up to four Research Breakthrough encounters during that period.
