Complete list of new and returning Field Research tasks available in Pokémon GO during September 2021. You cake take a look at the September 2021 Events Calendar as well, since that article contains the full list of events taking place this month.
We’re currently in the Pokémon GO Season of Mischief, which means some tasks may differ across hemispheres. Each month brings a new Research Breakthrough.

From Wednesday, September 1, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. to Friday, October 1, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. PDT (GMT −7), you’ll encounter Ditto in Research Breakthrough encounters.
