Pokémon Go: Research Breakthrough in August 2022 will be shiny and slippery

There are some issues in Niantic’s AR game Pokémon Go that the trainers would like to see addressed and resolved. This includes one Updating the map material, which does not reflect what is seen in the real world, especially in areas with major construction projects that have been completed in recent years. There are also other issues that players feel are being neglected by the developers and that includes the monthly research breakthrough for completing Field Research.

If you collect seven stamps for the reward box by doing field research on seven different days, then you will encounter a Pokémon. In August 2022, this same research breakthrough box will give Galar Flunschlik, which with luck will appear as Shiny. However, the probability of a dazzling specimen is relatively low, and that is why the research breakthrough has been rather unattractive for months and something that you do on the side rather than regularly looking forward to opening the box. Because legendary Pokémon, which once existed from the research breakthrough, no longer exist.

A buff for field research, is there at least that?

The facts in short: If you open the reward box, you will receive Galar Flunschlik in the following period: From August 1, 2022 from 10:00 p.m. local time to August 31, 2022 at 10:00 p.m, that’s how the developers communicate it. That sounds odd, if we do emphasizing it, because a Research Breakthrough Pokémon usually stays in the reward chest until the 1st of the following month at 9:59 p.m. This unusual procedure may have something to do with the fact that the next season in Pokémon Go should start on September 1, 2022 – but nothing specific is known.
