The new year has arrived! That means, in addition toa new Research Breakthrough reward, there are also a whole new batch of daily encounter rewards thatPokemon GOplayers are able to track down and earn during January. The quest rotation is now in place and the community has already gathered a ton of intel about which rewards are associated with which quests, but information is still developing.

This month seems to have some kind of theme that features returning popular tasks from previousPokemon GOmonths. There is an interesting batch of rewards up for grabs, with some sure to get players excited and many others that will go into the candy grinder just about every time.
