The Season of Light continues, and trainers will have plenty to do while carrying out research tasks for Professor Willow. They will certainly be compensated for their time. Beginning October 1, 2022, and lasting until October 31, 2022, new Field Research tasks will be available to undertake, complete with their own unique rewards. Upon completing research breakthroughs, players may encounter the oft-obscure Shedinja. For the first time, the creature's shiny form will also be available, which will undoubtedly delight shiny hunters. However, the Shed Pokemon is only the tip of the figurative iceberg for what awaits Pokemon GO lovers this month. What to expect from Pokemon GO s Field Research in October 2022 Professor Willow never has a shortage of tasks and rewards to dole out each month (Image via Niantic) Like the previous months of the year, October's Field Research tasks in Pokemon GO are divided into different categories. Research quests are divided between catching Pokemon, throwing Pokeballs, battling in PvP/PvE arenas, interactions with your buddy and in-game friends, and miscellaneous tasks that don't fit into a given category. While Shedinja is the main reason why trainers want to complete research breakthroughs in Pokemon GO, those who complete one will also receive a free incense item. This incense acquisition is limited to one per month, but it's undoubtedly a welcome addition.

Providing access to starter Pokemon is always a plus. It provides an avenue to evolve and even Mega Evolve certain creatures, such as Charizard and Blastoise. Additionally, Pokemon GO fans hoping to find shinies from their research won't be disappointed. The only Pokemon encounters lacking a shiny in this round of research tasks are Gloom, Haunter, Stunfisk, and Ariados. Every other monster received through tasks can appear in its shiny form, providing extra incentive to seek them out. October's Field Research tasks are already live in Pokemon GO, so it's time for players to stock up on Pokeballs and head out to Pokestops for a few spins. They should make sure to gather their best teams for raids and the Pokemon GO Battle League. It's going to be a hectic month full of work for dedicated trainers, but few can argue with the results of their efforts.
