Field Research Tasks (and which ones matter)
Spinning PokéStops may give these tasks:
Catch 10 Electric-type Pokémon → Blitzle / Joltik / Yamper
Use 5 berries to help catch Pokémon → Emolga / Morpeko
Spin 5 PokéStops or gyms → Magnemite / Voltorb
Take a snapshot of an Electric-type → Plusle / Minun
Power up electric-type Pokémon 10 times → Dedenne / Morpeko
Use an electric-type charged attack in a battle → Morpeko
Best tasks for shiny hunters
To farm Shiny Morpeko efficiently, focus only on PokéStops with these tasks:
1. Use 5 berries to help catch Pokémon
2. Power up electric-type Pokémon 10 times
3. Use an electric-type charged attack in a battle
These three tasks are the only repeatable ways to generate extra Morpeko encounters during the event.
If you're targeting Emolga or Dedenne specifically, hit stops with:
Catch 10 Electric-type Pokémon
Take a snapshot of an Electric-type Pokémon
Daily Routine Recommendation (Fast & Effective)
For players who want an optimized loop:
1. Start with a Lucky Egg / Star Piece
2. Catch everything with Nice Throws+ for double XP & Stardust
3. Take your daily buddy snapshot for Morpeko
4. Spin new PokéStops until you find a Morpeko task
5. Clear tasks fast (5 berries → easiest Morpeko repeats)
6. Keep checking Electric-type clusters for boosted shinies
This setup gets you Morpeko encounters, resource gains, and shiny checks all at once.
Final Notes
All Timed Research rewards must be claimed by Nov. 22 at 8:00 p.m.
