Pokemon GO has a number of new Field Research Tasks to celebrate Part 2 of the Halloween event and the Team GO Rocket Takeover!
It’s a very busy time in Pokemon GO right now, with two different events currently happening. However, a busy time is an exciting time for Pokemon trainers, especially those who like completing Field Research!
Spinning a PokeStop or Gym Photo Disc from 10 AM local time on October 26 to 8 PM local time on October 31, 2023, could give you a limited-time event Field Research Task based on Part 2 of the Halloween event or the current Team GO Rocket Takeover.
These are the Field Research Tasks for Halloween and the Pokemon GO Team Rocket Takeover events and their rewards:
Field Research Task | Reward | |
Make 7 Great Throws | Mismagius | ![]() |
Walk 1 km | Galarian Yamask | ![]() |
Evolve a Ghost‑type Pokemon | Phantump | ![]() |
Power up Pokemon 3 times | Greavard | ![]() |
Defeat 2 Team GO Rocket Grunts | Mysterious Component | ![]() |
If you’re lucky, you can encounter the shiny versions of Galarian Yamask and Phantump from completing the Field Research tasks. However, shiny Mismagius is not available, and shiny Greavard has not come to Pokemon GO yet.

Meanwhile, you’ll want to earn Mysterious Components if you plan on tracking down the Team GO Rocket Leaders.
And there’s no better time to defeat Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra than now. This is because Giovanni is using a brand-new Legendary – Shadow Regigigas!
