Enigma Field Research in Pokémon Go is one of the many things you can get up to during Pokémon Go Tour Unova Global.

You'll have until the event ends at 6pm (local time) on Sunday 2nd March to complete this limited-time Pokémon Go field research. Though at first glance the task may seem like a breeze, you can only target a select group of Pokémon and if they don't spawn for you, you may find this hard.

On that note, here's the Pokémon Go Enigma Field Research tasks and rewards.

All Pokémon Go Enigma Field Research tasks and rewards

There's currently only one Enigma Field Research task available during Pokémon Go Tour Unova, but it's quite a challenge as it's very specific as to which Pokémon you must capture to complete it, and the field research will appear randomly after you spin a Pokéstop.

Here's the Pokémon Go Tour Unova Global Enigma Field Research task and rewards:

  • Catch 10 different species of Pokémon first discovered in Unova - Purrloin, Pidove, Boldore, Woobat, Timburr, Tympole, Sandile, Darumaka, Darmanitan, Scraggy, Sigilyph, Zorua, Joltik, Ferroseed or Klink encounter.

Thank you to g47onik on r/TheSilphRoad for helping with this information.

You'll only get one of the encounters above and they will be random (sorry if you're after a specific one), but each one is guaranteed to come with a special background.

It's important to remember that the Engima Field Research will appear at a limited-number of Pokéstops. So, if you visit one and the research doesn't appear then it's worth visiting another one nearby, then spinning that to see if you can get the research. Also, once a Pokéstop resets, you can always go back there and try again.

As always, we also recommend making sure you've got enough Pokéballs in stock so that you can have a successful encounter with the Pokémon that spawns when you've completed the Enigma Field Research task.
