Luminous Legends Y Field Research Tasks and Rewards

Listed below are all of the event exclusive Field Research tasks and their rewards for the Luminous Legends Y event in Pokémon GO, going on in late May 2021. Focused on Team GO Rocket and Dark-type Pokémon, the tasks can be difficult, often requiring items like the Rocket Radar. But if the reward isn’t worth it to you, you can always just delete it and look for another. So make sure you reference the rewards to see if it’s worth completing for you.
