You can click on the trash can icon (on the upper right) to delete the quest, then get a new one from a different pokestop or wait till tomorrow.

Don't forget you need to walk a Feebas for 20km to evolve it, too, so you might want to finally get that out of the way also (though it's a 5km to candy just like Tyranitar)

Good idea. What's the quickest buddy to 2 candy? Something from a 2k egg?

Magikarp, because it's 1k/candy and apparently the Mew questline requires evolving one. Sorry Maker of Shoes.

Welp, yep, looks like stage 6 wants you to evolve a Magikarp (right up until people complain enough for it to change, I bet) https://pokemongohub.net/post/guide/a-mythical-discovery-guide/

Aw man, I'm keeping my candy for when I get a shiny. Well, I'll probably reach 400 again before that happens, so alright.

During the quest, your AR mode gets upgraded to see invisible Pokemon, so that's how we're gonna get Kecleon, it seems.

It's nice that you can complete as many field research quests as you like for rewards, even if you can only claim a stamp a day. Also nice that you can't lose progress on them if you skip a day of playing.

I'm also quite glad I'm sitting on two potential Gyarados candidates with 600 candies to spare. :v:

Hell yeah just hit 400 candy on magikarp. I'll switch back to wailren after this since that 2 candy requirement is kind of dumb considering different walking distances.

Hatching and evolving don't count towards catching tasks. Never doing the Dragon challenges then. Also you can delay getting a reward until after midnight to quickly get that day's stamp.

Are daily stamps or anything quest related sequential, in that if you miss a day like you would with your catch/spin streaks, and things reset to day 1?

Only the ditto and ghost type seem like work. Otherwise that isn't hard at all.

I have 4000 karp candies.

Ready.

So the stamps get you rewards and the field research differs how?

You do field research for rewards, the first research you do for the day earns you a stamp. Seven stamps and you get whatever is in that box. Special research gets you xp, rewards, and eventually a Mew.

My initial impression of the quest system is that it is great. It really makes things a lot more interesting when you're just wandering around town. I imagine battlers will really love it, because one of the quests was "do 7 super-effective attacks in a gym fight" and the reward was 6 revives. It certainly seems like restoratives will be easier to come by.

I think the only thing that comes to mind about the quest system that I'd change is just to give out a random field research item every day if you have empty spots, just for the people who like the game but manage not to be close to a pokestop every single day (since Gyms don't give you one)
