With another month here, it’s once again time for the usual rotation of content in Pokemon GO. Although some spawns and tasks stick around through a full in-game season, there’s a lot that chances every 30 days or so. This time around the new calendar of events is bringing plenty of spooky action, including some new limited time October field research tasks.
The fresh rotation of daily Field Tasks and rewards for Pokemon GO players is live now and trainers can already start completing the minor challenges and earning their daily stamps. As always, some Field Tasks are back from last month, but there are a lot of exciting additions, as well. Trainers who are aware of which tasks are available and what rewards are associated with them can easily decide when a task is worth abandoning versus when one should be completed as soon as possible to lock in the exciting encounter reward.
The October 2021 field research tasks are available now and trainers can start picking them up at Pokestops to power through the simple challenges and earn their daily stamps and the associated rewards. There are some decent rewards up for grabs this month, so players should have plenty of motivation to continue completing tasks even after they've earned their daily stamp.

Players can expect additional event specific field tasks will likely appear throughout the month, as well. Those tasks usually have powerful rewards and are only available for a few days, so be sure to keep an eye out for them and take advantage when there is the opportunity.
In the coming weeks, we should learn more about what other events will be arriving during the early days of the Season of Mischief. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
