Pokemon Go’s new Field Research tasks for January 2019 are now live.
Users on The Silph Road Subreddit as well as the official The Silph Road website have compiled a list of all the new Field Research Tasks. The list will continue to be updated as more tasks and rewards are chronicled. If new research tasks are added to coincide with special in-game events, we’ll be sure to include those in the list as well.
By completing seven different research tasks on seven different days, you can get a Research Breakthrough. According to Niantic, this month each the Research Breakthrough you earn will award you a randomly selected Legendary Pokemon including Ho-Oh and Lugia. You can even encounter their shiny versions, as some The Silph Road Subreddit users have found.
If you start your Field Research tasks track on Jan. 1, you can get up to four Legendary Pokemon. However, if you started the track in late December and complete the seventh Field Research task on either Jan. 1, 2 or 3 and then continue completing a Field Research task every day after that, you can catch up to five Legendary Pokemon.
Here is the current Pokemon Go Field Research list for January 2019:
