April is here, which means there is a new month full of activities for Pokemon GO trainers to enjoy. In addition to the full April 2021 event calendar, the game has also rolled out the latest version of the daily field tasks available in the mobile AR game.
Field Research can be picked up at Pokestops throughout the game and Pokemon GO trainers are able to complete the simple tasks to earn in-game item rewards or encounters. This month's rotation makes some interesting changes that should offer some fresh motivation for players to get out and start spinning stops once again as they work towards their weekly Research Breakthrough rewards.
