Pokemon GO's difficult Mega Raids.

Every month features a new set of rewards for completing similar Field Research Tasks to the month prior. These tasks usually focus on the core areas of the game. For July 2022, alongside new event Pokémon, Field Research Tasks revolve around catching, making throws, powering up, hatching eggs, and more. To complete the task, follow the specific instructions listed and then return to the Tasks page, and claim the reward.

Completing a Field Research Task every day allows players to earn one stamp toward the Research Breakthrough Reward, a set of items and an exclusive Pokémon that is typically more difficult to encounter, a time-sensitive part of Pokémon GO's July Events.  Though the player can only earn one stamp per day, completing as many tasks as possible still grants rewards. For July 2022, earning 7 Field Research Task stamps will reward the player with a Lickitung encounter, which can be found shiny at a rate of 1/500.
