August is almost over, but there's still a little time left to complete this month's Pokemon Go Field Research tasks. Many of August 2020's tasks revolve around Fighting-type Pokemon, so you'll have a chance to catch monsters like Meditite, Makuhita, Machop, and others when you complete Field Research this month.
To go along with the new Field Research tasks, Niantic is offering a new Research Breakthrough reward this month as well: Scraggy, the Dark/Fighting Pokemon from Pokemon Black and White. Each time you collect enough Research stamps to achieve a Research Breakthrough this month, you'll get a chance to catch Scraggy in the game.

Unlike Special Research, Field Research tasks are typically obtained via PokeStops. You'll receive a task when you spin the Photo Disc, and you can have up to three active tasks at a time. You can also complete as many as you'd like daily, but only the first one you clear each day will net you a stamp. If you collect seven stamps, you'll achieve a Research Breakthrough.
The Field Research tasks you can receive from PokeStops are randomly drawn from a larger pool, which Niantic refreshes at the start of each month. You can see August's Field Research tasks along with their potential rewards, as compiled by The Silph Road, below.

There's a lot more than just Field Research to do in Pokemon Go this month. Niantic has outlined some of the game's August events, and they include three week-long Ultra Unlock bonuses and new Pokemon Spotlight Hours. The Legendary Pokemon Heatran has also returned to Raid Battles, while Porygon and Charmander were recently selected by fans to be September and October's Community Day Pokemon.
