In Pokémon GO, the field research changed right at the beginning of the month. We at MeinMMO show you what quests await you in November and which ones are particularly worthwhile.
What tasks are involved? When you spin the wheel of a PokéStop, you receive so-called field research tasks. You can complete these and earn a reward for it. Right at the beginning of each month, Niantic changes the tasks and rewards of these daily quests.
How do you get the quests? In order to solve the field research, you only need to spin at a PokéStop. Under the category “Field,” which you can open by clicking on the binoculars in your map view, you will find the earned tasks listed.
At the same time, only 3 tasks can be collected for processing. To receive more quests, you must either have solved one or delete them. Additionally, there is no time limit for processing.
All Field Research in November 2021
The field research in November 2021 is divided into various categories. These range from catching to throwing tasks and completing battles.
Using the overview from Legends Lima, we have summarized all the new quests for you below and show you which ones you should use (via reddit.com). Monsters that you can encounter in their shiny form with some luck are marked with an (*).
All Field Research for Catching
These field researches focus on catching various monsters. Most of these tasks are relatively quick and easy to complete, which is why the rewards are also rather unimpressive.
The most interesting one here is Dratini. This monster can evolve into Dragonite, which is one of the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO.
- Catch 7 Pokémon
- Encounter with Magikarp* and Lampent*
- Catch a Dragon-type Pokémon
- Encounter with Dratini* or Kindwurm*
- Catch 5 Pokémon with weather boost
- Encounter with Vulpix*, Quapsel*, Hippopotas* or Shnebedeck*

All Field Research for Throwing
As the name of this category already suggests, you need to demonstrate your throwing skills in these tasks. You must hit a monster particularly well while throwing. You should especially keep an eye on the quest with Pandir. This monster is currently only obtainable through this.
Additionally, Pandir has various coat patterns. If you want to complete a full Pokédex, you should catch all the forms. In November, you will encounter coat pattern No. 2 as rewards.
Another interesting monster is Tanhel. This one evolves into Metagross, which is among the best Steel and Psychic attackers in Pokémon GO.

All Field Research for Fighting
In these tasks, you will compete against other trainers or in raids. Those who regularly participate in the Super League and are still looking for a strong Rock-type Pokémon should focus on Shilterus. This monster can evolve into Bolterus and is considered excellent for use in the Super League according to PvPoke (via pvpoke.com).
Trainers who are still missing Amonitas, Kabuto, or Aerodactyl to complete the Special Research with Meltan also have the chance to solve the respective quests and encounter them.

- Encounter with Amonitas* or Kabuto*

All Field Research with Your Friends and Your Buddy Pokémon

Field Research Breakthrough in November 2021
In addition to the new field research tasks, you can also expect a new research breakthrough in November. You will receive this if you complete a quest on each of 7 days. You can see your progress through the stamps above your list of field research.
If you have collected all the stamps, you can claim the research breakthrough. From November 1, 2021, at 10:00 PM local time until December 1, 2021, at 10:00 PM local time, you will encounter the Dark- and Flying-type Pokémon Skallyk.
You can obtain this monster for the first time outside of the 12 km eggs in the game. It can evolve into Grypheldis. A shiny variant has not been available in the game yet. However, not everyone is happy about this encounter. We have summarized here why trainers are complaining about this research breakthrough.
What do you think of the new field research in November? Which ones will you definitely not miss? And what do you think about Skallyk in the research breakthrough? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
In the upcoming weeks, a lot is happening in Pokémon GO. We will show you which events are coming up in November and which you should not miss.
