I've deleted 50+ as I kept getting versions with fruit and simply kept going 2) Special research you can accelerate the steps (I'm on 3 out of 8 atm) but you only get one stamp a day; got a feeling that there will be one reward for 7 stamps (but not required to be 7 days in a row) and another for completing a research package. The special research is significantly higher requirements (level 3 was win 2 gym battles, 2 raids and be at least level 15 as example; before that need to cast 10 great throws etc.) but rewards are much better as well for completing the three tasks.

The field side is where legendary pokemon will appear, some guesses on reddit reckon this could change every month to a different legendary.

syboit wrote: » Yeah, so its just the one stamp per day, end of the 7 days it should yield a legendary pokemon. Its been confirmed on reddit which one it is, but no idea yet does it change every week (7 stamps) or every month.
Nody wrote: » I'd doubt weekly since it would become very hard to track it (i.e. who ever missed one day would lose the chance completely) and it would enable people a second chance if the damn 'mon runs on the first ball etc. Also curious how they will handle the second set; those are some damn high requirements towards the end after all.
