Pokemon GO players who want to know what exciting rewards are up for grabs with the limited time psychic event Field Research can consult this visual guide.
As promised, the Psychic Spectacular has added a handful of limited time Field Research quests and rewards to Pokemon GO, in addition to the special spawn rates and Battle Raids. Naturally, the new Field Research is all psychic themed and gives players even more opportunities to earn that gold psychic badge.
Niantic hinted that there would be some new Field Research coming along with the event, but as usual, didn’t spell out the exact details of what was on the way. Luckily, it only took a day for the Pokemon GO community to crowdsource data and comb through the most recent datamine to identify the three new limited time quests. The crew at LeekDuck even put together a helpful guide details all of the tasks ands potential rewards.
Here’s a look at the Field Research details and everything else players might want to know about the event…
Unfortunately, the encounter rewards are not the most exciting. Jinx is occasionally helpful in particular Battle Raids, but is far from the most powerful Psychic-type that could’ve been included. Girafarig, on the other hand, will likely never be relevant in a Gym battle, but perhaps some users still need the creature for their dex completion.
We’ll continue to monitor things as the event progresses to see if any other exciting opportunities arise. Be sure to get out there this weekend and collect your new Pikachu event variant before it stops spawning. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
Pokemon GO is currently available in select regions on Android and iOS devices.
