Not sure what you are asking for here but the following are squares within the given series #A_n=3n+1#:
#color(white)("XXX")color(blue)({A_0=1^2,A_1=2^2,A_5=4^2,A_8=5^2,A_16=7^2,A_21=8^2,...}#

Explanation:

If this is what you are asking for, probably the easiest way to get the result is to list integer squares and check if, after division by #3#, there is a remainder of #1#
