For July 2021, there are changed field research tasks in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO have summarized the tasks for you and show you which are worth completing.
What’s new? In connection with the start of the month, Niantic often introduces new field research tasks or changes the rewards for certain tasks. You can receive these field research tasks by spinning the PokéStop.
All Field Research for July 2021
With the help of Leekduck’s overview, we have summarized the tasks for the month of July for you (via Leekduck/reddit). All Pokémon marked with a (*) can also be caught in their shiny variant with a bit of luck.
The field research tasks can be divided into several categories. These range from catching to throwing skills to battling in raids or the battle league. Your buddy and friends will also be involved in some tasks.
So there should be a suitable task for every trainer. For better clarity, we have listed the individual field research tasks in their respective categories.
Field Research Tasks Involving Catching
These tasks focus on catching a certain number or type of Pokémon. For the rewards, you will likely encounter less spectacular Pokémon, such as Jigglypuff. However, Dratini is interesting, as you can evolve it into Dragonite, a strong attacker.
- Catch 5 Pokémon
- Encounter with Jigglypuff*
- Catch 7 Pokémon
- Encounter with Magikarp*

Field Research Tasks Involving Throwing
In the throwing category, you must demonstrate your skill. You need to hit your Pokémon particularly well when catching them to complete the tasks. Sometimes, you also need to achieve several great or excellent throws in a row.
Notably, the rewards in this category include Lileep and Anorith. These are needed for certain special research tasks. Another highlight is Pandir. In this month, it has color number 6. This Pokémon is currently not available outside of field research, so you should take the chance.
Kaumalat is usually considered one of the rare Pokémon in the game. Many trainers caught this Pokémon during the Community Day in June. Those who missed this day or are still looking for a strong Kaumalat have the opportunity to encounter it in field research.

This can be evolved into Machamp, one of the strongest fighting Pokémon in the game. However, Amonitas and Kabuto are also worth it, as these Pokémon are quite rare in the wild.
