Here are the Pokemon GO Research Tasks and their rewards for December 2019.
You’ll encounter Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Kyogre or Groudon with each Research Breakthrough from now until January 1, 2020 at 1 p.m. PST, according to Niantic. You can get a Research Breakthrough if you complete seven different Research Tasks on seven different days during the time period.
Reports show that you can also get a Unova Stone from Research Breakthroughs as well and that the Legendary Pokemon you get from them have a chance to be shiny.
As the Research Breakthrough won’t change until January 2020, and since the list of Research Tasks for November was pretty much no different from the one in October, we believe that the list of Research Tasks for December won’t be any different either. We will update the article if we do see any changes.
Here’s the full list:
