Players can pick up theevent field research tasks from any PokeStopwhile the event is active. Each PokeStop will provide one field research task per day with there being four different tasks for theNew Pokemon SnapCelebration event. There is no way to guarantee a specific task, although each task has its own specific reward and isn’t interchangeable between tasks.
As mentioned, there are four differentfield research tasksthat players can obtain and complete during this event. These field research tasks are:
Take one snapshot of wild Pokemon- Three Razz Berries or three Pinap Berries
Take five snapshots of wild Pokemon- Dodrio encounter, Mantine encounter, or Skarmory encounter
Use five berries to help catch Pokemon- Wooper encounter, Wurmple encounter, Croagunk encounter, or Stunfisk encounter
Use five Golden Razz Berries to help catch Pokemon- Alolan Vulpix encounter, Lapras encounter, or Skarmory encounter
Of these tasks, the Golden Razz Berry field research task has the most potential for causing trouble with completing. While it can simply be removed for those who don’t want to work toward it, the task may be worth it for players who are unable to find any Alolan Vulpix. With it using the same candy as a Kantonian Vulpix, players won’t need to grind candies through this task in order to evolve one intoAlolan Ninetales. It however isn’t a guaranteed encounter with this task since players also have the chance to instead encounter Lapras or Skarmory.
Forshiny hunters, there are multiple Pokemon among these field research encounters that have the chance to appear in their shiny forms. These Pokemon are Skarmory, Wooper, Wurmple, Croagunk, Alolan Vulpix, and Lapras. The rest have no chance to appear in their shiny forms.
