Mythic Blade field research tasks in Pokémon Go

The Mythic Blade event may be fairly short, running from Tuesday, December 6th 10am (local time) to Sunday, December 11th at 8pm (local time), but it comes with some several event-exclusive field research tasks that you can collect by spinning PokéStops in Pokémon Go.

Completing event-exclusive tasks, shown by the orange highlights in the Field view, will reward you with event-themed Pokémon. These frequently sit outside the normal spawn pool and become much rarer after the event.

Although these tasks can be saved and completed after the event ends, we recommend completing them during the Mythic Blade event as the Pokémon encounters you earn may help you complete the Collection Challenge.

Here are the Mythic Blade field research tasks in Pokémon Go:

Power up Pokémon 15 times reward – Galarian Farfetch’d encounterCatch 15 Fighting-type Pokémon reward – Galarian Farfetch’d encounterCatch 7 Fighting-type Pokémon reward – Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan or Hitmontop encounter

Thank you to The Silph Research Group from reddit for the help with this information!

Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Hitmontop can all be caught after catching 7 Fighting-type Pokémon
