Pokémon GO Brings 9 New Field Researches to the Anniversary Event – Are They Worth It?

With the start of the Anniversary Event in Pokémon GO, you can secure 9 new field researches. We at MeinMMO have looked at what kind of tasks are, what rewards await you and whether they are worth it at all.

What is this research? Pokemon GO is celebrating the Pokemon GO 6th Anniversary Event. To mark the occasion, Niantic has unlocked new field research tasks for you.

You can get these by spinning the PokéStops Photo Disc. As with the field research from July 2022, the quests are displayed in the “Field” view of the game, which you can access by clicking on the binoculars. There you can see what you have to do and you can finally redeem your rewards at this point.

As you are used to from these tasks, you have unlimited time to work on them. So you can still complete them after the event ends.

How long is the anniversary event? The anniversary event started on July 6, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. local time and will run until July 12, 2022 at 8:00 p.m. local time. Until then you can find the event tasks at the PokéStops.

Is the new field research worth it? What do you have to consider?

The encounters with Pokémon are in all cases starter Pokémon. These usually appear relatively frequently in the game and can therefore also be found at regular intervals.

However, there are always three different monsters hiding behind the rewards. What you get is random though. Which monsters are worth it?

So if you are still looking for one or the other candidate for use in raids or the GO Battle League, you should look out for the following monsters in particular:
