Exploring the world of Pokémon GO offers players tons of tasks to complete. Whether it’s catching them all or battling in raids, you always have something to do and usually there’s a nice reward for the task. This is especially the case with Field Research, the random missions you receive from spinning Poké Stops. These get changed up all the time so we’re presenting the Pokémon GO Field Research tasks and rewards for February 2021.
Field Research Tasks and Rewards – February 2021
With most tasks the reward is displayed right on the screen, so this guide will focus on just the Pokémon and Mega Energy you will receive when you see an encounter as the reward. We’ve broken them down based on the task itself to try to make it easier to find the one you want. And when the reward can offer a shiny Pokémon, we mark it with (S). Events can also offer their own Field Research, so watch for separate guides for that. Currently there’s the Team GO Rocket Celebration Event, but more will happen throughout February 2021.
