Pokémon GO: Research Breakthrough in February with Shiny Psiau – “I can’t wait”

In Pokémon GO you can find a new shiny in your research breakthrough from February. We at MeinMMO have looked at which monsters you can look forward to in February 2022 and how the trainers on social networks react to this message.

What is the Research Breakthrough? Trainers in Pokémon GO have the opportunity to receive and solve research tasks on a daily basis. There is a stamp for each day that such a quest was redeemed. Anyone who has collected seven of them can look forward to a special reward in the form of a research breakthrough.

You will encounter a certain Pokémon, which changes monthly. On the evening of January 25, 2022, Niantic has now announced the monster for the February 2022 research breakthrough.

Research breakthrough in February with Psiau

What monster is in Research Breakthrough? In February, you can meet the Psychic Pokémon Psiau in the Research Breakthrough. This was previously only available from eggs or occasionally in raids. From February it will also be available for the first time in its dazzling form.

The 6th generation Pokémon can be evolved into Psiaugon with the help of 50 candies, which differs visually by gender.

When can you get Psiau? Psiau can be found in the research breakthrough starting on February 1st, 2022 at 22:00 local time. You then have until March 1st, 2022 at 10:00 p.m. local time to meet him there.

How do you get the research breakthrough? In order to unlock your research breakthrough, you must have redeemed at least one field research task in seven days. You can track your progress in the “Field” view in the game. If you have all the daily stamps together, you can call up your research breakthrough.

What does Shiny Psiau look like? The dazzling specimen is easily recognized by its pink body. Its evolution is yellow.

Here’s how the community reacted to the research breakthrough with Psiau

The new research breakthrough is hotly debated on social media. Many trainers look forward to the Psychic Pokémon. The release of the dazzling variant in particular is very well received by some. The following comments can be found on reddit (via reddit.com):

• GhostHarbester: “I’ve always loved this family and I’m so excited that the Shinys are coming to PoGo. The gold/white blends really well with either gender.”

• Stogoe: “The yellow is really bright. I wish they’d been given a viable moveset for PvP.
  Maybe one day…”

• NarutoSakura1: “FINALLY! I can barely wait for it! I already loved the female Shiny Psiaugon”

• Shadow Raptor: “Such a beautiful Shiny and Pokemon in general.”

However, one or the other trainer finds it a pity that Niantic publishes the dazzling Psiau with the help of a research breakthrough, as this limits the chances of a shiny. As theonewhoknock_s writes: “Why is Niantic releasing Shinys through a research breakthrough? We get 4 chances”.

What do you think of the new research breakthrough? Are you hoping for a Shiny Psiau or is the Psychic Pokémon not really your thing? Feel free to write us your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
