With the start of September, the Research Tasks in Pokémon Go have updated with brand new missions for trainers to complete and new Pokémon to catch.
The highlights of the updated Research Tasks include the return of Pattern #3 Spinda as well as a brand new Shiny Pokémon that is added to Pokémon Go, the Electrike line. Both Shiny Electrike and its evolution, Manectric can now be caught in its Shiny forms. To commemorate this debut, Electrike is now available as an encounter reward for completing the "Battle Another Trainer" task.
Also, the Research Breakthrough will now include Eevee with the Flower Crown. This special Eevee can also be caught in its Shiny form. Even when this Eevee is evolved, it will keep the Flower Crown.
