On Aug. 1, 2021, the Pokémon Go’s Research Breakthrough Reward for completing a week’s worth of stamps changed to Chimecho, the psychic-type wind chime Pokémon from the Hoenn region.
You can complete Pokémon Go Field Research Tasks for Pokémon encounters, items, and Stardust. Finishing the individual tasks also rewards sweet stuff. Rare spawns like Aerodactyl can be rewards for tasks, as well as important loot like Rare Candy or Golden Razz Berries.

Spinning PokéStops gives players a Field Research Task to complete. Each stop gives a task once a day, and players can hold up to three tasks at once.
Upon completing a task, players will get a stamp marked with the date. After getting seven stamps from seven different days, players encounter a special Pokémon, as well as get Stardust, items, and some XP as rewards.
Players can turn in multiple tasks a day but will only receive one stamp for the first task they complete that day. After completing a task, you can wait to turn it in, if you want to save the stamp for another day.
