February 2020 is here, which means Pokemon GO players are eagerly racing around their towns trying to confirm any rumored changes to the available Field Research tasks and rewards. At this point, it looks like there are some new tasks to discover this time around while out earning your Research Breakthroughs for a Woobat encounter. As if the new Breakthrough rewards weren't enough to be excited about, a new batch of encounter rewards full of shiny opportunities are sure to bring many players out this month.
In recent months, Niantic seems to have moved away from fully rotating in new Pokemon GO quests and encounter rewards on the first of every month. This is a little disappointing for players who liked a frequent change of pace, but it does make it a little easier to remember which quests are the most rewarding. This month is changing things up and it seems like we'll have a fresh rotation of Tasks, which will probably stick around until at least early late winter or early spring.
The most exciting bit with obviously be the new quests. Many of these were hinted at after a series of datamines, so players who have been following those spoilers may not be totally surprised.
