Some research in Pokémon GO will bring you encounters with various Pokémon. However, you should pick up some of these later.
Which research is it about? May has begun in Pokémon GO, which has also shaken up the field research a bit in Pokémon GO.
In some of the field research, you can earn rewards with certain Pokémon. Important: You do not need to complete these encounters immediately; you can also escape from the catch screen.
If you do this, the Pokémon encounter will be saved, and you can pick it up later. Furthermore, you can save multiple encounters to collect them all at once.
And this is exactly what a trainer is currently recommending in the Pokémon GO subreddit. Because: If you save the right Pokémon, you can earn a lot of stardust.
Save for the bonus stardust on Community Day in May
Extra stardust with the right timing: Pokémon GO has revealed the Community Day in May 2023. It not only brings the Pokémon Fynx but also a popular bonus: triple stardust for every catch you make during the event.
The Community Day takes place on May 21, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. And this is exactly when you should redeem encounters from certain field research.
Which field research should I redeem? The user “g47onik” in the Pokémon GO subreddit points out that some Pokémon yield increased stardust when caught. Some of them can be found in field research.
These are two research tasks in the current event “An Intuitive Hero”:
- “Hatch 2 eggs” – provides an encounter with Palimpalim, which gives 1,000 stardust.
- This task can also yield an encounter with Chaneira.
- “Hatch 3 eggs” – provides an encounter with Magneton, which gives 300 stardust.
In addition, there are two more research tasks available throughout May:
- “Walk 3 km” – provides an encounter with Zobiris, which yields 750 stardust upon catching
- “Battle in the GO Battle League” – provides an encounter with Maschock, which gives 300 stardust upon catching
The tip: If you complete these research tasks, save the encounter until C-Day and catch the Pokémon during the event to get triple the amount of the increased stardust. You could also activate a star piece to gain additional stardust.
The user also refers to another research task, “Redeem 3 Crypto-Pokémon,” which brings Nidorina or Nidorino, which also gives 300 stardust upon catching. However, you must spend stardust to perform the redemption. Therefore, the other tasks are more worthwhile.
In general, it is always a good idea to collect stardust. After all, you need this resource to give Pokémon power-ups or to learn new moves. Therefore, you should accumulate as large a supply as possible – and bonuses like these are perfect for that.
Currently, the new Pokémon Ignivor can also be obtained at the Spark event, which you can evolve into Ramoth. However, the chances of getting the new Pokémon are not high.
