The list of field research for March 2019 is here. In Pokémon GO, you can now expect many Shinys and a new Spinda as rewards.
Niantic did not change the field research for this month. Shiny hunters are in for a treat, as a large part of the research revolves around shiny Pokémon.
The tasks are popular tasks from 2018. You will also get another chance at Pokémon for the Meltan Quest, making it easier for you to complete them.
List of Field Research in March 2019
This is what the research is about: Normally, the quests revolve around a special type. However, Niantic has selected the highlights from last year for January and February 2019.
The quests have also been maintained for March. So we have the same quests for 3 months.

Field Research Yields Numerous Shinys
The field research in March is a paradise for Shiny hunters. Almost every quest offers a chance at a Shiny.
These Shinys can be obtained: The list of possible Shinys is long. The quests offer you shiny forms of Pokémon such as Growlithe or Kabuto, Pokémon that are not frequently found in the wild.
The Ground-type Pokémon Sandshrew can also be obtained from one of the field research tasks. This has only been available globally in shiny form since December and is quite rare in Germany outside of nests.
New Spinda Form Number 2
A new form of Spinda awaits you in March. The form with the number 2 is new to the field research this time. You can obtain this Spinda from the quest “Land 5 great curveball throws in a row.”
This is what Spinda looks like: Like any other Spinda, this one also has red spots on its face. The Spinda with the number 2 is primarily characterized by a large spot above its face. In the picture, it is the second Spinda in the top row.
