In Pokémon GO there are three new field research tasks. They all revolve around Pokémon from the 3rd generation. However, many players do not like the new tasks.
The Hoenn event in Pokémon GO brings numerous innovations to the game. There are also three new field research tasks related to Pokémon from the Hoenn region. However, the quests are not well received by all players.
How long do the quests run? You have 2 weeks to find and complete these field research tasks, until January 29. The quests promise Pokémon or Stardust.
Here are the 3 new field research tasks
What are they about? During the Hoenn event, these 3 quests are quick to solve. All field research tasks relate to the event and feature Pokémon from the 3rd generation. The quests are:
- Hoenn Event: Catch 10 Swablu and Zigzagoon
- Reward: 1000 Stardust
- Hoenn Event: Hatch 2 Eggs
- Reward: Encounter with a Surskit
- Hoenn Event: Evolve 3 Wurmple
- Reward: Encounter with a Trapinch
You can use the quests for: Especially the quest with Trapinch is interesting. You can combine this with the field research “Catch 10 Ground-type Pokémon”. Finding 10 Ground-type Pokémon is difficult, but Trapinch helps you with that, as it is exactly of that type. As a reward, you get a Sandshrew, which can be shiny.
This is what the players say
This is why players are disappointed: Players express their disappointment with the three new field research tasks. With Surskit and Trapinch, there are not really interesting Pokémon as rewards. For having to hatch two eggs, the reward of a Surskit is too little for many players.
Players wish for different quests: So the player “Bacteriophag” writes on Reddit:
As a quest enthusiast, I am quite disappointed, only 3 quests with mediocre Pokémon as rewards. I wish they would release a Surskit quest or other fun things like Kecleon. Who needs Surskit…
The player “leandruskis” agrees and adds: “Yes, that’s right. Or maybe Pokémon like Nincada, which have only been available for a month so far.”
The new field research tasks are definitely unpopular, especially after the best field research tasks ever were available this month with the best field research tasks ever.
The Hoenn Event also brought new raid bosses to the game. Here’s how to best counter the bosses:
