RESEARCH DAY TIPS & TRICKS
- Go to a place with a high density of PokéStops (cities, parks, …) to spin as many Limited Research tasks as possible.
- Try to collect 3 of the same Research tasks to efficiently complete all 3 of them at once.
- Run a Star Piece for some extra Stardust!
- If you don’t have a lot of Star Pieces, stack your Field Research and catch all your Minccino on 1 Star Piece (preferably when a Stardust Bonus is active).
- If you stack, remember you can only stack a total of 100 Research encounters!
- Enjoy your day and conduct some research!
