October features new Field Research Tasks and Rewards for players to earn in Pokémon Go. These count as daily tasks for players to complete. Each day the player completes one, they will earn a stamp. Once the player collects all 7 stamps, they will be rewarded with a Research Breakthrough reward. This will provide players with items, XP, and the chance to encounter Yamask, the Ghost-type Pokemon that originates from the Unova region. October is the spooky season, meaning Pokémon Go is going above in beyond to celebrate Ghost-type Pokemon.

This month is introducing a Halloween event in Pokémon Go with new tasks, Pokemon, and a new Costumed Pikachu. The list of Field Research Tasks can also provide players with a chance for rare encounters. This includes Pokemon like Dratini, which can be found if the player catches a Dragon-type Pokemon. Although, finding these specific Field Research Tasks can be time-consuming since which Field Research Task the player obtains from spinning a PokeStop is completely random. Players will need to throw away their tasks and spin another one for a chance for a new task. While players can hold three tasks at a time, players should aim to collect at least one stamp per day.

Each stamp is marked with the date that the player completed the task. This is the complete list of all active Field Research Tasks for October. With Yamask being the Research Breakthrough reward, players can grind for candy to help them find and catch Runerigus in Pokémon GO. This will remain the same until November begins.
