Pokemon GO October Field Research Quests and Rewards guide

Pokemon GO Field Research quests and rewards refresh every month and for October trainers will likely have the same field research tasks to complete as those available during September.

If you're new to the game, or getting back into the swing of things after a few months away, then let us quickly explain how this works.

Every day, players spin PokeStops and as collect field research quests from Professor Oak. These are completely random and the quest for each PokeStop changes with each day that goes by.

Should players take the time to complete field research they'll earn rewards in return. These could be anything from Pokeballs, extra berries to random Pokemon encounters. It all depends on the research task you complete.

Out of everything, it's the latter which are the most popular. Not only have you got a good chance of catching some semi-rare pokemon, but also, your odds of catching a shiny are increased too.

Finally, if you complete seven Field Research Quests you will unlock a field research breakthrough. This means you'll have the chance to capture a special Pokemon that's unique and can't otherwise be caught in the wild.

What is the Pokemon GO October Research Breakthrough Reward?

Niantic announced a big change to the Research Breakthrough rewards at the start of September.

Previously trainers had the chance to meet one of several legendary pokemon in the game.

However, from September 1, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT (GMT −7) to November 1, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT (GMT −7), trainers will instead encounter Flower Crown Eevee.

If you’re lucky, you might encounter Shiny Flower Crown Eevee, too.

Assuming you didn't manage the find a Shiny Flower Crown Eevee in September, you've got another 31 days to try and catch the Pokemon throughout October.
