Summary
APokemon GOfan has suggested improvements to the Weekly Breakthrough Research rewards by including legendary monsters. When it was released in 2016,Pokemon GObecame one of the most popular mobile titles, with players still enjoying catching Pokemon while exploring the real world.
Regular players who manage to complete field research tasks for 7 consecutive days are rewarded with a Pokemon with ties to the current season. For theongoing Max Out season inPokemon GO, players can encounter Furfrou, Galarian Weezing, Galarian Mr. Mime, Excadrill, Jangmo-o, or Scraggy, but one player has an idea to change the Pokemon on offer to improve the overall game experience.
A Redditor going by the username Entire_Pineapple4732 suggests that Niantic should change the Weekly Breakthrough Research rewards to include legendary monsters. In a post to the r/Pokemon GO subreddit, the fan argues that having a set of legendaries, such as Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, as a weekly reward would not only motivate trainers to maintain research tasks but improve the 5-star raid rotations inPokemon GOas they would free up room on Gyms for other legendaries.
Replies to the post have certainly agreed with Entire_Pineapple4732’s suggestion, noting that the pool of monsters in the Weekly Breakthrough Rewards can typically be found throughout the season, pointing to the upcomingLegendary Heroes event inPokemon GOas an example of this. The event starts September 26 and runs until October 1 and sees Galarian Weezing, Galarian Mr. Mime, Excadrill, Jangmo-o, and Scraggy appear more frequently in the wild and raids. However, Furfrou is the exception. The Poodle Pokemon has been a mainstay of the weekly reward pool since December 2022.

The rewards from the Weekly Breakthrough Research aren’t the only area of the game where Niantic has come under fire. Dynamax battles are the latest addition toPokemon GO, but players have been facing issues whentrying to battle the gigantic Pokemon Beldum. Gamers report various glitches that crash the game, costing them a chance at catching the Psychic Steel-type, along with precious MP.
While fans will have to wait to see if Niantic will change up the Pokemon in the Weekly Breakthrough Rewards, there is still a lot to look forward to in the coming days. With October on the horizon, players have the Galarian Expedition event to look forward to. This event runs from October 4-11 and will seethe shiny forms of the Galarian bird trio debut inPokemon GOfor the first time.
