Research Rewards: Location-Stamp Question

Does anyone know when the location-stamp is established for research rewards?

For instance, let's say you pick up a research task, complete it, start the reward-encounter, and lastly run from the encounter and "bank it," all at Location A. Then, you proceed to travel miles away to Location B and catch your banked encounter. Would the captured Pokémon have a location stamp for Location A or B?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a question a spoofer would ask lol

Ha! It does I guess. No, I'm actually going to be traveling long-distance for the holidays, and I was wondering if I could bank a handful of Feebas research encounters, catch them all while I'm far away, and then bring them back here for 3-candy trades with my community. :)

Besides, if I was a spoofer, I wouldn't bother asking about it here; I'd just test it out myself from my couch.

I was actually wondering the same thing. Traveling back home, people trade all kinds of good stuff for an extra 2 candies.

I *THINK* I remember rewards that I'd banked in the past getting the location stamp from where they were actually caught vs where the mission was picked up, but I can't quite remember.

Yeah, I caught one when I was travelling over Thanksgiving weekend, and I'm pretty sure it had the location stamp where I actually caught it.

Location B is what gets recorded, since it's the actual catch location. I've saved encounters for trips numerous times to get free distance mons.

A few times I've even taken the train to the next city since its cheap and just crosses the 100km line. Clear the queue, take the next train back with 100 new distance mons.

This is correct. A friend of mine traveled to Tennessee for the big event last summer and then traded me one of his Farfetch'd from research.

He still has them banked and I watched him catch it before trading me, but still for some reason thought it would be a TN mon. It isnt. It is from our town.

I don't think Farfetch'd has ever been a research encounter though. The only worldwide releases of it were as an event reward in late 2017 and from 7k eggs this year.
