Pokémon GO September 2022: All Field Research tasks and rewards

Pokémon GO Field Research consists of tasks collected by spinning a PokéStop, and these missions can be to find certain creatures, engage in battles, or complete other activities. Every new season of Pokémon Go welcomes a new set of Field Research tasks for all trainers, with the completion of these tasks providing different rewards.

From Pokémon GO Mega Energy to Encounters with Pokémon and their Shiny forms, 2022's Field Research tasks has everything that a trainer wishes for.

This season, in September, a new Research Breakthrough reward will be made available. Pokémon GO trainers will be able to encounter Medicham after completing seven tasks and acquiring their stamps. Also, during the month, there is a reward of 1 Premium Raid Pass for every completed Research Breakthrough.
