We’re entering a whole new world of Pokemon Go in March, which also means Niantic has added a fresh slate of Field Research tasks to complete for the month.
To achieve a Research Breakthrough, you’ll need to collect stamps by completing the Field Research tasks. Only the first task of each day gets you a stamp, however, so you’ll need to complete one per day for a week in order to unlock the Research Breakthrough rewards and encounter–this month’s encounter being the icy Alolan Vulpix.
To receive new Field Research tasks, you’ll need to venture out to your local PokeStop. One task from the pool below will be randomly selected for you when you spin the Photo Disc for supplies, with each completion netting you rewards along with the aforementioned stamps. The list of available tasks and corresponding rewards is below.
March 2022 kicks off a new era for Pokemon Go with the addition of Pokemon from Alola, Pokemon from Sun and Moon’s Hawaiian-inspired region. A slew of Alolan-themed events are planned throughout the month of March, including new Raid Hours featuring legendary Pokemon Tapu Koko and Mega Raids featuring Mega Venusaur.
Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio are some of the new Pokemon you’ll find in March.
