How to Get a Field Research Reward in Pokemon Go
The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus in iOS 11.4. I am using the most current version of Pokemon Go that was available when this article was written. Note that you will need to have completed one of your field research tasks in order to be able to redeem the rewards that come from completing that task. There are some players that are having difficulty with this feature of the game. This can often be resolved by enabling Camera permissions for Pokemon Go on your device but, if you have done this and are still experiencing problems, then you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that fixes it. Otherwise you will need to wait until Niantic resolves the bug in the app. Step 1: Open Pokemon Go.
Step 2: Touch the research button above the nearby Pokemon bar at the bottom-right corner of the screen. If you have a completed task this circle should be orange.
Step 3: Touch the Field tab at the top of the screen, then tap the reward task that you wish to redeem.
Note that if the indicated reward is a question mark, this means that the reward for that task is a Pokemon encounter. After redeeming this reward you will be given the opportunity to catch a Pokemon. Are you curious about how far you’ve traveled while playing the game?
