Pokémon GO: all research, rewards and shiny for January (2021)

Pokémon GO: all research, rewards and shiny for January (2021)

We review all the field missions of the first month of the year in Pokémon GO, which have as a weekly reward the one known to all Chansey.

It begins the month of January 2021 in Pokémon GO and does it as 2020 ended: full of things to do. Among them, new missions, investigations and rewards. The sixth year of the Niantic title for iOS and Android faces the difficult challenge of overcoming a hectic 2020, which will require some reinvention to continue growing and last another five years in top form. Let’s find out what lies ahead with the field research missions, which have Chansey as the main protagonist.

From this January 1 to February 1 – the date on which the monthly rotation will take place – the Egg Pokémon from the Kanto region, Chansey (537 CP Max; can be shiny / variocolor), will be the resulting species of the encounters as a weekly research achievement.

Every time we achieve seven days with at least one of the following field investigations we will find Chansey along with a secure reward of 2000 Stardust, 3000 XP and one of the following random items: 3 Rare Candy, 5 Pinia Berry, 20 Poké Ball, 5 Ultra Ball, 1 Sinnoh Stone or 1 Unova Stone; the last two, as always, the most interesting if you have any pending evolution that requires the exposure of these stones. Without further ado, we leave you with the list divided by type of activity, all of them updated to this month of January 2021.
