As of today, August 6, 2021, the 2nd part of the Hyper Bonus event is taking place in Pokémon GO. Once again, new quests and a limited-time research await you. We will show you what these tasks look like and tell you which ones you should complete.
What is it about? As of today, the 2nd Hyper Bonus is happening in Pokémon, which trainers earned during the GO Fest 2021. Just as in the 1st Hyper Bonus, you can also participate in limited-time research or spin new field research tasks at PokéStops during this event.
We have looked at the new tasks and will show you which ones are particularly worth it.
These are the new field research tasks for the 2nd Hyper Bonus
During the 2nd Hyper Bonus event, you can look forward to 5 new quests in the field research. To obtain them, you just need to spin at the PokéStop. With the help of Leekduck’s overview, we have summarized them for you (via Leekduck.com/reddit.com):
| Field Research Task | Reward |
| Catch 15 Pokémon | Staryu* |
| Make 5 good curveball throws | Lunatone* or Solrock* |
| Make 7 great curveball throws | Shellos (East or West) |
| Spin 10 PokéStops or Gyms | 10 Poké Balls |
| Send 5 Pokémon | 3 Nanab Berries |
The most interesting reward from the new quests is Shellos. You can find it in both its eastern and western forms. Particularly the latter is usually not catchable in Germany. So if you don’t have one yet, you should take this opportunity. You can recognize it by its pink color.
This is the limited-time research for the 2nd Hyper Bonus
In addition to the 5 new quests in field research, there is also a limited-time research available to every trainer. You can find it in the Today view of your game. To complete it, you have time from today, August 6, 2021, at 10:00 AM, to August 17, 2021, at 8:00 PM.
The limited-time research has been divided into a total of 5 blocks. We have looked at these with the help of Leekduck’s overview and summarized them for you (via Leekduck.com/reddit.com):
