All January 2023 Field Research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

Every month, players receive various Field Research tasks when visiting PokéStops and Gyms while playing Pokémon Go. These tasks give players a simple activity in the game and, upon completing it, provide them with a reward. These rewards and tasks rotate each month, allowing trainers to encounter a specific Pokémon. So if you’re on the hunt for a certain one, you’ll be able to find one without having to find one in a particular region. This guide covers all January 2023 Field Research tasks and their reward in Pokémon Go.
