Niantic is giving trainers some neat Pokémon Go Research Breakthrough Encounters in September for those who manage to keep on top of their Field Research Tasks.
When you complete a Field Research Task, you get a stamp added to your journal. After getting seven stamps from seven consecutive days, you get a Research Breakthrough that gives you a bunch of items and a singular Pokémon spawn.
These Pokémon are set to appear in Research Breakthroughs from Sept. 3, 10am local time, until Dec. 3, 10am local time, so there is plenty of time to find one of them.
Every Pokémon available in Max Out Research Breakthroughs from September 2024
| Research Breakthrough Pokémon | Can it be shiny? |
|---|---|
| Hisuian Growlithe | Yes |
| Furfrou | Yes |
| Audino | Yes |
| Larvitar | Yes |
| Jangmo-o | Yes |
| Axew | Yes |
There are six Pokémon available in Research Breakthrough encounters in Pokémon Go for September 2024, with every single one available as a Shiny if you manage to beat the odds.
Out of the six Pokémon on offer, Jangmo-o and Hisuian Growlithe are personal favorites of ours, especially if you can find their Shiny forms in the months they are active. Both are relatively new Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Go, and are in the line to have Community Days in the next 12 months.
Audino is also a pretty good Pokémon due to the XP bonuses it can give you per catch. In all, though, all the Pokémon on offer are pretty good. You can also expect each Research Breakthrough Encounter Pokémon to have decent stats, which is just a bonus.
