The field research in January is a paradise for shiny hunters in Pokémon GO. Players love the new quests.
Rarely have quests been so well received as the field research in January. Trainers love the new tasks, and there have never been so many opportunities for shinies. Additionally, many players could finally complete the Meltan quest since the tasks give you, among other things, Tragosso, Aerodactyl, and Anorith.
We show you player reactions and tell you why these quests are so great.
This is how excited players are about the new quests in January
Here’s why the quests are good for Meltan: Mainly players who have not completed the Meltan quest benefit from the field research. You will receive almost all Pokémon you need for Meltan through the tasks.
You can catch Pokémon like Aerodactyl, Tragosso, Kabuto, Amonitas, Anorith, Traumato, or Magnetilo. Each of these Pokémon is also part of the Meltan quest.
That’s why the quests are something for shiny hunters: Almost every quest gives trainers the chance for a shiny. No other month has had as many shiny quests as January.
Whether it’s Sandan, Aerodactyl, or Traumato. You have a total of 25 chances for shinies in the new field research. This density is enormous.
