<p>With a new month now underway, Niantic has rolled out a new batch of Field Research tasks in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/pokemon-go/">Pokemon Go</a>. This month&#8217;s research missions are themed around Water-types, and if you manage to complete enough of them, you&#8217;ll earn another chance to capture the Legendary Aurora Pokemon, Suicune.</p>
<p>Suicune is one of the three Legendary dogs first introduced in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/pokemon-gold-version/">Pokemon Gold and Silver</a>, alongside Raikou and Entei&#8211;both of which were featured in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-go-legendary-pokemon-raikou-available-agai/1100-6460790/">August</a> and September&#8217;s Field Research tasks, respectively. In order to encounter Suicune, you&#8217;ll first need to achieve a Research Breakthrough. This is done by collecting seven stamps, one of which is doled out each day you complete a Field Research task.</p>
<p>Suicune isn&#8217;t the only rare Pokemon you&#8217;ll be able to encounter through the newest set of Field Research. According to the official Pokemon <a href="https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/snag-suicune-with-october-field-research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, you&#8217;ll also be able to catch a Spinda with a different fur pattern by completing a certain task. Players are also reporting (via <a href="https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1046856756859682821" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Serebii</a>) that Shiny Krabby have begun appearing in the wild for the first time.</p>
<p>Unlike Special Research missions, which are assigned by Professor Willow, Field Research tasks are distributed at Poke Stops. Just as with Berries and other items, you&#8217;ll collect tasks by spinning the photo disc at certain stops. You can find a list of all the known October Field Research quests on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/9kjrwx/field_research_october_suicine_edition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reddit</a>.</p>
<p>Along with the new Field Research tasks, Pokemon Go players have a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-go-october-community-day-details-announced/1100-6462077/">new Community Day event</a> to look forward to this month. The event takes place on Sunday, October 21, and features the Steel/Psychic Pokemon Beldum. Additionally, Niantic recently <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-go-you-have-a-little-more-time-to-hatch-re/1100-6462160/">extended one of the bonuses</a> from the Ultra Bonus Event. Players will still be able to hatch the region-exclusive Pokemon Farfetch&#8217;d, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, and Tauros from 7 km Eggs until October 8.</p>
