Catch 5 bug types?

Does this field research even exist? Ive probably tried 150+ different stops since November started, and still haven't seen a single.Nincada research!

Someone on my discord group found one and told the rest of us which stop to spin. So, I have done that quest.

I just completed it but did not catch the Nincada yet. Have seen this a couple times but it is not abundant here in Bangkok. For some reason it seems that the "better" pokemon spawn rewards are less common and the rewards that provide Stardust / berries / etc are abundant. I have been trying hard to get the Electrabuzz reward (use supereffective charge 7 times) but I can only find this which gives revives as a reward. The Halloween event was great as I did the Sneasel task / reward at least 30 times.

It seems like one of the rare quests like larvitar and chansey, so I think it's going to stay longer than a month.

Ask your local group. Also that's only 20ish stops a day - the odds of you hitting a rare quest are quite low.

Asked my raid group, and they knew where the research was. =P

I've been able to find this pretty easily thanks to my raid chat. Just got my Ninjask today. I've found it's easy to stack the Caterpie from "evolve 2 Pidgey" to blow through this.

But how are you finding the Pidgeys to do those quests?! Half joking here, but there's a lot of talk in chats about how rare Pidgey has become and people favoriting to not accidentally transfer etc.

I legitimately hoard Pidgey like they're gold now you don't even know. It also helps to not complete that research until you have 3 of them lined up.

Completed one, doing the second now. Was not aware that this is supposed to be rare. :-)

It seems to be a rare quest. Compared to other rare quests like Chansey or Absol, I think 150 stops checked is a bit on the low side. I'd assume more like 1 every 1000 stops or so.

I have now completed my second in a few days. I was probably lucky as I had no guidance from chat sites but I think your 1 in 1000 estimate is too pessimistic. I probably spin 60-80 a day.

It's just going by how many I'm seeing reported daily in my city which has probably at least 2k stops. But it might be too pessimistic, since some people might not be reporting them due to not realizing people are interested. My personal experience is pretty close to 1 in 1000 though.
