A new month means a new set of Field Research Tasks for players to complete in Pokemon Go. September comes along with a slew of new content for players jumping into the world of Pokemon every day. Later this month, players will be able to celebrate the Psychic Spectacular event, where the spawn rates of Psychic-type Pokemon will be drastically increased. Not only that, but more Special Research Tasks are being unlocked for those players looking to add the legendary Pokemon Hoopa to their collection. Every Field Research Task brings new rewards to collect for September.

Pokemon Go players should aim to complete at least 1 Field Research Task a day. Completing them for 7 days in a row will unlock the Research Breakthrough rewards which provide players with XP, Evolutionary Items, and a Ditto encounter for September. Ditto itself is amongst the most difficult Kanto Pokemon to locate normally, so this makes it a bit easier to find. Completing Field Research is also a great way to encounter Shiny Pokemon, if they are available in the game.

Each challenge ranges from collecting a specific number of Pokemon, finding candy with the player's buddy, or evolving a set amount of Pokemon. These change every month. Here is what players can expect to find during Pokemon Go's September Tasks in 2021.
