Trainers, October 2021 Field Research tasks are underway and new rewards and Pokemon encounters are now available in Pokemon Go.

October 2021 is officially here and new Field Research tasks and rewards are now available in Pokemon Go. Alongside the new tasks, collecting the seven stamps will grant you a new Research Breakthrough encounter this month, Yamask and its shiny form.

Starting from October 1, 2021, to November 1, 2021, we will see Yamask and its shiny form as a Research Breakthrough encounter.
