Pokemon GO is celebrating the start of Summer with the Water Festival: Beach Week event, and it has added quite a few new Field Research Tasks for players to pick up and complete.
To go along with the theme of the event, the rewards for these Field Research Tasks include Water-type Pokemon, Mega Energy for Water-types, and even the brand-new Pokemon Sandygast!
Spinning a PokeStop during the Water Festival: Beach Week event (from 10 AM local time on June 6 to 8 PM local time on June 12, 2023) could give you one of the five new limited-time Field Research Tasks. They are:
| Field Research Task | Reward | |
| Water Festival: Catch 5 Water‑type Pokemon | 10 Poke Balls or 5 Great balls |  |
| Water Festival: Catch 15 Water‑type Pokemon | Frillish (Female) |  |
| Water Festival: Catch 25 Water‑type Pokemon | Sandygast |  |
| Water Festival: Make 5 Nice Throws | Clauncher |  |
| Water Festival: Make 5 Great Throws | Binacle |  |
| Water Festival: Make 10 Great Throws | 30 Blastoise or Swampert Mega Energy |  |
| Water Festival: Hatch An Egg | Lapras Wearing a Scarf |  |
While all of the Beach Week Field Research Tasks have some excellent rewards, most players will be after the ‘Catch 25 Water-type Pokemon’ Task. This is because completing this task is just one of the two ways to get Sandygast – the other being defeating it in a Tier 1 Raid.
Also, if you are lucky, you could also get the shiny versions of Frillish, Clauncher, Binacle, or costumed Lapras as a reward for completing one of these Field Research Tasks. Unfortunately, shiny Sandygast isn’t available just yet!
