Today, on August 20, 2021, the 3rd part of the Hyperbonus in Pokémon GO begins. During this event, there will be 6 new field research tasks that you can complete. We have looked at what these quests are and show you which ones you should definitely take advantage of.
What’s it about? Starting today, the 3rd part of the Hyperbonus takes place in Pokémon GO. This was earned by trainers during the GO Fest 2021. In addition to catching monsters, you also have the opportunity to complete special tasks around the theme of Sword and Shield.
How long do you have? You can find the tasks from August 20, 2021, at 10:00 AM local time until August 31, 2021, at 8:00 PM local time in the game. Field research tasks you earn during this period can still be redeemed even after the event ends.
New Quests for the 3rd Hyperbonus
During the 3rd Hyperbonus event, there will be 6 new, event-related field research tasks. To get the tasks, you just need to spin a PokéStop. We have looked at these quests using the overview from Leekduck and reveal to you which ones are particularly worthwhile (via Leekduck/reddit).
| Field Research Task | Reward |
| Use 7 berries while catching Pokémon | Rufflet |
| Defeat 3 Grunts from Team GO Rocket | Galarian Porenta* |
| Earn 5 hearts with your buddy | Wooloo |
| Win 2 Raids | Legios |
| Spin 10 PokéStops or Gyms | 5 Poké Balls |
| Take a snapshot of a wild Pokémon | 2 Nanab Berries |
Which Quests are Worth It the Most?
The new field research tasks around the 3rd Hyperbonus are all quite interesting. Rufflet, Wooloo, and Legios will appear in the game for the first time. Additionally, Rufflet and Wooloo can evolve into Braviary and Wooloo respectively. You should try to catch as many as possible to have enough candy.
Moreover, there is one reward that stands out: Galarian Porenta. This Pokémon has been in the game for a while, but is not commonly found in the wild. For that reason alone, you should take the chance to secure a strong specimen for your collection.
But there’s another reason: This monster can also be caught in its shiny form in the game with a bit of luck. So if you want a shiny Galarian Porenta, you should definitely take this opportunity and catch as many as possible.
You can recognize the shiny form, as shown in the picture, by its brownish color on the belly. Furthermore, Galarian Porenta can evolve into Leek Duck. It differs significantly from the normal types by its yellowish color.
Which of the new tasks do you like the most? Will you spin some at the PokéStop or are you less interested in the rewards? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
Additionally, there is the limited research “Sword and Shield” for the 3rd Hyperbonus . We have looked at what tasks await you there and what rewards you can look forward to.
