Pokemon Go: July Research Breakthrough, Rufflet Feature

Pokemon Go July Research Breakthrough

Pokemon Go’s new Research Breakthrough for July has been revealed, and you’ll find the Pokemon Rufflet and a remote raid pass each and every time you complete the set of seven daily research tasks to make a research breakthrough.

When does the Pokemon Go Research Breakthrough update?

The Research breakthrough will change to Rufflet from July 1st, 1:00 PM (GMT -7), and will run till the same time on the 1st of August.

As you might expect, this is pretty standard fare given the research breakthrough change is a monthly occurrence.

For those not familiar with Research breakthroughs, when you do a research task for the first time each day, you earn a research “stamp”, each of these adds towards a total for that month.

For every 7 of these you gather, you activate the research breakthrough for the current month. Which among other things, means that you encounter the Pokemon featured as the research breakthrough shortly after you gain the 7th stamp. The process then resets, allowing you to potentially repeat it multiple times enough, provided you can clear enough research in that space of time.

For July in 2021, the Pokemon Go Research Breakthrough will be Rufflet, the Pokemon shown below.

As extra bonuses:

  • As part of the ongoing season of discovery, research breakthroughs award doubled EXP

Is there anything else?

There really isn’t much else to this one, its a simple monthly event in Pokemon Go.

On the up side, it’ll provide a couple of chances for any Rufflet enthusiasts to get a start on collecting some high-stat Rufflets. Even for those without any unique enthusiasm for Rufflet, the remote raid passes are worth the time alone.
