The new Pokemon GO Test Your Mettle event has added plenty of Field Research Tasks for players to do – here’s what they are and the great rewards you’ll get for completing them!
Completing Research is one of the most enjoyable activities in Pokemon GO. Even the small Field Research Tasks can give some great rewards!
This is especially the case during the Pokemon GO Test Your Mettle event as the new limited-time Field Research Tasks are even more rewarding than usual.

Here are all of the different Test Your Mettle event Field Research Tasks as well as the rewards you’ll get for completing them!
