Pokemon GO Research Tasks: July 2020

Niantic

The new Research Tasks for July 2020 are live in Pokemon GO.

This month, you can get a Larvitar with every Research Breakthrough encounter, according to Niantic. Larvitar will evolve into the powerful Tyranitar, a popular fixture in PvP battles. You might encounter a Shiny Larvitar as well if you’re lucky. You’ll also get 2,000 Stardust, 3,000 XP and one of either three Rare Candies, five Pinap Berries, 20 PokeBalls, five Ultra Balls, one Sinnoh Stone or one Unova Stone, according to Leek Duck. To earn a Research Breakthrough, all you have to do is complete seven different Research Tasks on seven different days.
