Trainers, it’s time! New Research Breakthroughs have been announced! Latias, Latios, Groudon, & Kyogre will be breaking out of those weekly boxes starting on July 1.
Also, a NEW Spinda form will be available from a Field Research Task, and for the first time, should you have some luck, this Spinda could be shiny! Last but certainly not least, a new EX Raid Boss was also announced, with Speed Forme Deoxys zooming its way into EX Raids.
Research Updates
Starting July 1st, you’ll find Latias, Latios, Groudon, or Kyogre inside the weekly Research Breakthrough reward. All of them can be shiny, so this is a perfect opportunity to get at least one new Shiny legendary you’re missing. We’re kinda expecting a Field Research shakeup as well, but let’s keep our expectations low in case it doesn’t happens!
