In Pokémon GO, the new field research tasks for September 2022 are now known. We at MeinMMO have taken a look at them and show you all the tasks and rewards that await you in the coming weeks.
What are field researches? In Pokémon GO, you have the ability to spin the photo discs at your PokéStops and receive so-called field researches. These are various tasks through which you can secure rewards.
Every month, the contents of these quests change. With the start of September, there are again new tasks and rewards in the field researches. We have summarized what they are in the following overview.
Field Researches in September 2022 – Overview
As you might know from past months, the field researches can also be divided into different categories in September. Thus, you can again find tasks related to catching, throwing, battling, and hatching at the PokéStops, as well as quests that require you to interact with friends or your buddy.
Once you’ve spun a task, you can find it in the “Field” view of your game, which you can access by clicking on the binoculars. There, you can see your respective progress and finally also collect your reward. You have unlimited time to complete them.
All tasks and rewards that await you in September 2022 in the field researches of Pokémon GO have been summarized below with the help of the overview by LeekDuck. Monsters that you can also encounter in their shimmering form are marked with an (*) symbol.
All Field Researches for Catching
| Task | Reward |
| Catch 5 Pokémon | Encounter with Frizelbliz* or Voltilamm* or Lampi* |
| Catch 7 Pokémon | Encounter with Karpador* |
| Catch a Dragon-type Pokémon | Encounter with Dratini* or Kindwurm* |
| Catch 5 different species of Pokémon | Encounter with Voltobal* or Hisui-Voltobal |
| Catch 5 Pokémon with weather boost | Encounter with Vulpix* or Quapsel* or Hippopotas* or Shnebedeck* |
| Use 5 berries to catch Pokémon | Encounter with Minun* or Pulse* |
Which of these monsters is particularly worth it? In the catching tasks, encounters with Dratini are especially worthwhile. The Dragon-type Pokémon has a strong evolution in Dragoran.
Additionally, you should secure Karpador. The Pokémon has a strong evolution in Garados, which also has an important Mega Evolution, and you also need large Karpador for the Platinum medal “Angler.” The quest here gives you the opportunity to progress further.
All Field Researches for Throwing
| Task | Reward |
| Make 5 nice throws | Encounter with Dummisel* |
| Make 3 great throws | Encounter with Snubbull* or Liliep* or Anorith* |
| Make 3 great throws in a row | Encounter with Onix* |
| Make 5 great curveball throws in a row | Encounter with Pandir* (Fur Pattern 3) |
| Make 5 curveball throws in a row | Encounter with Puppance* |
| Make 3 fabulous throws in a row | Encounter with Kaumalat* |
Which of these monsters is particularly worth it? In the throwing quests, you should try to get the task for Pandir. The small Pokémon is not particularly strong, but has 9 different fur patterns that change monthly in the field researches.
In September, you can find Pandir with Fur Pattern 3. Outside of the researches, Pandir is also only found with a few exceptions. So, if you want to secure a shiny, you should take the chance.
Besides Pandir, the encounter with Kaumalat is also worthwhile. The Dragon- and Ground-type Pokémon can evolve from Knarksel to Knakrack, which is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
All Field Researches for Battling
| Task | Reward |
| Defeat 2 Team GO Rocket Grunts | Encounter with Elektek* |
| Battle in the GO Battle League | Encounter with Wattzapf |
| Win a Raid | Encounter with Alolan Raichu* |
| Win a Level 3 Raid or higher | Encounter with Amonitas* or Kabuto* |
| Win 5 Raids | Encounter with Aerodactyl* |
Which of these monsters is particularly worth it? For trainers who still need Amonitas, Kabuto, or Aerodactyl to complete the special research “More on Meltan”, the tasks related to the raids are interesting. Aerodactyl also has a Mega Evolution that can assist you as a strong Rock-type attacker in the raid.
All Field Researches for Interaction with Buddy and Friends
| Task | Reward |
| Earn 3 hearts with your buddy | Encounter with Pikachu* |
| Earn a candy by walking with your buddy | Encounter with Dedenne |
| Earn 2 candies by walking with your buddy | Encounter with Scoppel* |
| Earn 3 candies by walking with your buddy | Encounter with Flunschlik |
| Send 3 gifts with stickers | Encounter with Woingenau* |
| Trade a Pokémon | Encounter with Kadabra |
Which of these monsters is particularly worth it? Among the tasks for interactions with your buddy or friends, an encounter with Kadabra is particularly worthwhile. This Psychic-type Pokémon is indeed the pre-evolution of Simsala, which is one of the best Psychic attackers in the game.
With the start of the Psychic Spectacle, Mega-Simsala is finally available in the game, which has one of the highest attack values and is thus an asset to your team. Through research, you can secure a really strong specimen with a bit of luck.
Further Field Researches in September 2022

And with Tanhel, you can secure a really strong monster. Its evolution Metagross is among the top Steel attackers in Pokémon GO.
