Daily quests come to Pokémon Go with unique rewards – even Mew

It looks like Mew is coming to Pokémon Go, but there’s going to be a whole new way to play the game to get him and other Legendary Pokémon.

Two kinds of ‘Research’ are being added to the game, these are daily tasks that are assigned by the game or by Professor Willow.

There are two different types of research you can contribute to: Field Research and Special Research. Gather Field Research tasks by spinning nearby PokéStops, which will give you objectives that include discovering and catching certain Pokémon or engaging with battles, among other things. Special Research may be requested by Professor Willow himself, and will take you on a journey to make important discoveries!

You can earn only one stamp per day, but you can complete as many quests as you like – the more complex the quest the greater the reward. Once you have seven stamps you get an even bigger reward or even the chance to meet a legendary Pokemon.

The quests will be added to the game on March 30th, which likely means early March 31st for us in Australia.

Here’s the full update from Niantic;

A series of mysterious happenings is occurring all over the world, and Professor Willow is seeking Trainers to help him find out if this is connected to the Mythical Pokémon Mew. These research tasks will become available to Trainers around the world later this week!

Both types of research offer great rewards, including a variety of useful items and even encounters with certain Pokémon! You can complete as many research tasks as you want every day, leading to a full day of adventures. These tasks also have different levels of difficulty, so the more challenging a research task is, the greater the reward waiting for you.

You can earn one Stamp per day by completing at least one Field Research task, and when you obtain seven stamps, you can achieve a Research Breakthrough to receive even greater rewards! You may even have an encounter with a Legendary Pokémon!

Research tasks will provide interesting challenges that will help you get better at discovering, battling, and catching Pokémon! We’re excited to see your contributions to the exciting field of Pokémon research, and we can’t wait to hear about the adventures you have along the way! Let’s get moving!
