Pokemon GO's Sustainability Week Event is once again here, and there are once again Event Field Research Tasks for players to complete. This time, the rewards will also help players encounter Drilbur, whose shiny form was released in time with the event, as well as give out helpful berries for catching Pokemon. Here's how to obtain and complete all Sustainability Week Field Research Tasks in Pokemon GO.
The Sustainability Week event runs from April 20, 2023, 10 AM Local Time to April 26, 2023, 8 PM Local Time.
How to Get Field Research Tasks in Pokemon GO
Field Research Tasks in Pokemon GO can be found by spinning Pokestops in the local area. Each Pokestop can only generate one Field Research quest per day, but if the player travels to multiple different Pokestops, they can find and complete numerous Field Research quests daily. Players can access Field Research Tasks by tapping the binoculars icon in the lower right corner of the screen.

Tips for Catching Pokemon in Pokemon GO
Meeting these field goals may seem challenging for those who find Pokemon always run away from their encounters. While there is a certain degree of luck to catching Pokemon, as in any Pokemon game, the player can increase the odds of a successful catch in several ways:
- Practice throwing: Nice, Great, and Excellent throws increase the odds of a successful Pokemon catch. Spinning the Pokeball to get the 'Curveball' effect also impacts the odds.
- Use Berries: Razz Berries or Golden Razz Berries can be fed to Pokemon to increase the likelihood of catching them. These cannot be used simultaneously with Nanab or Pinap Berries, so if the player wants to increase candy and the odds, a Silver Pinap Berry is in order.
- Equip Lure Modules: Lure modules increase the spawns in an area, leading to more encounters and catches. Mossy Lure Modules can also help players with the 'Catch 5 Grass-type Pokemon' Research Task.
- Equip Incense: Another way to increase spawns, but this time only for the player it is equipped on.
