Pokemon Go Power Plant event Field Research tasks
Here are all of the event-exclusive Field Research tasks you can get during the Power Plant event, as well as the rewards for completing them:
| Field Research Task | Reward |
| Catch 5 Electric-type Pokemon | Electrike, Helioptile, or Joltik encounter |
| Make 3 Curveball Throws | Magnemite or Voltorb encounter |
| Walk 1km | Helioptile encounter |
| Walk 2km | Alolan Grimer or Trubbish encounter |
| Walk 4km | Emolga encounter |
| Take a snapshot of a wild Electric-type Pokemon | 25 Mega Ampharos Energy or 25 Mega Manectric Energy |
You can unlock these Field Research tasks at random by spinning PokeStops during the Power Plant event. They’ll run alongside the standard Field Research tasks for January 2022.
If you’re struggling to find Helioptile in the wild, completing these Field Research tasks might be the best way to catch one. Emolga is another standout as it won’t be appearing in the wild.
Pokemon Go Power Plant start & end date
The Power Plant event begins in Pokemon Go on Wednesday, January 19, at 10am local time and ends on Tuesday, February 1, at 10am local time.
This means you’ll have just under two weeks to complete all of these Field Research tasks and unlock all of the rewards on offer – and hopefully earn enough Helioptile Candy to evolve a Heliolisk!
