August 2021 has arrived andPokemon GOtrainers have a wholenew calendar of events and activitiesto prepare for. The game’s biggest changes now arrive with each new Season (usually every three months), but each calendar month does still bring a decent list of new Field Research tasks, or at least some different rewards, into the mix.
Theseasonal Field Researchassociated with the Season of Discovery are still sticking around just a bit longer, but there’s a long list of other new rewards that many trainers will likely want to check out. Being aware of what tasks are available and what rewards are associated with them helpsPokemon GOplayers know when a task is worth abandoning versus when one should be completed as soon as possible to lock in the exciting encounter reward.
