Two Pinap Berries or Four Razz Berries

Exeggcute encounter or Dwebble encounter
There isn’t a prize for completing all of the event’s field research tasks, but there is a research breakthrough available for October 2021 if players reach seven days of completed field research tasks. This time the Pokemon serving as the prize isYamask, a pure Ghost-type Pokemon.
The Yamask players can get is the original one from the Unova region, not its Galarian varient. Its typing makes it only weak to Ghost and Dark-type moves while also resisting damage from Poison, Bug, Normal, and Fighting-type moves. If given 50 Yamask Candies, it can evolve into Cofagrigus.
This event has a few other prizes for players to claim before the time limit runs out. One of these is the Adventure Hat and Wailmer Water Bottle accessory items for players' trainer avatars available from the trainer clothing shop in-game. These items are completely free, but it is unknown just how long they will remain for players to claim.
Another thing for players to keep their eyes out for in theSecrets of the Jungleevent is the Explorer Pikachu. This costumed Pikachu can be found wearing its very own Adventure Hat and Wailmer Water Bottle, with some lucky players having the chance to find it also in its shiny form. Players will only have until the event’s end to search for it.
Pokemon GOis available on Android and iOS.
