One of the best waysPokemon GOplayers can earn XP and unlock rewards in the game is by completing Field Research tasks.Pokemon GOField Research tasks are primarily obtained by spinning PokeStops, giving players objectives to complete in exchange for various rewards.Pokemon GOplayers earn a stamp for each day that they manage to complete a Field Research task, culminating in a Field Research breakthrough after seven stamps have been collected.
Pokemon GOtends to cycle in a new Field Research breakthrough Pokemon each month, and December 2021 is no exception. From December 1 at 1:00pm PT to Jul 31, 2025 atg 1:00pm PT,Pokemon GOplayers can start getting Deino as aField Research breakthrough reward. There’s even a chance that the Deino from the Field Research breakthrough will be a shiny, soPokemon GOplayers should try to get as many as possible to maximize their chances of finding one.

While somePokemon GOfans will be happy to see Deino as a Field Research breakthrough reward, others will be disappointed that the reward isn’t alegendary Pokemon. There once was a time when legendary Pokemon were featured regularly as Field Research breakthrough rewards, but that stopped some time ago. It’s a shame, too, as including legendary Pokemon as Field Research breakthrough rewards was one of the only ways thatPokemon GOplayers in rural areas could add them to their collection.
What may make this especially frustrating forPokemon GOplayers is that many of them are stuck on the Season of Legends Special Research quest. The second page of the quest asksPokemon GOplayers to take asnapshot of Landorus, but that requires them to have a Landorus handy. Landorus is not currently in legendary raids, and so adding the Pokemon as a Field Research breakthrough would be a great way forPokemon GOplayers to make progress in the quest.
At any rate, there’s more forPokemon GOfans to look forward to in December besides Deino as a Field Research breakthrough reward.Pokemon GOwill be kicking off its Season of Heritage event on December 1 and will be hosting a special Swinub Incense Day on December 5. There will also be a Dragonspiral Descent event taking place in December, plus aspecialPokemon GOCommunity Daythat features all of the Community Day Pokemon from the past year and then some.
Needless to say, there’s a lot forPokemon GOfansto look forward to in December, and even more content should be right around the corner, what withPokemon Legends: Arceusset to launch in January.
