After four months of the same Field Research tasks and rewards in Pokemon Go, we are happy to announce that in May 2019 we’re going to see a new wave of Field Research tasks and rewards, as well as new Legendary Pokemon as Research Breakthrough.
The new wave of Field Research tasks and rewards is going live on May 1 at 1:00 PM PDT, and for 2 months players around the globe will have a chance to collect the 7 stamps and get Lugia, Ho-Oh, Latias and Latios as the Special Research Breakthrough.
In addition, different Pokemon will start to hatch from April 26, at 1:00 PM PDT.
