The list of Pokémon Go research tasks has updated and includes new Pokémon reward encounters and more Legendary Pokémon as a part of the research breakthrough. But the biggest addition is Shiny Seel.
Niantic confirmed in late April that Lugia, Ho-Oh, Latios and Latias would be available in research breakthroughs as well as a new batch of research tasks trainers can complete. Pokémon Go also changed up the Egg Pool to include more Sinnoh region Pokémon.

From May 1 to June 30 these changes will go into effect. If you're looking for the new tasks and encounters coming with this latest update continue below.
POKÉMON GO MAY/JUNE RESEARCH TASKS
Highlights of the new research tasks include the aforementioned Shiny Seel.
The Water-type Pokémon and its evolved form, Dewgong, are usually white in color. But their Shiny variations change them from white to blue. Like other Shiny Pokémon in the popular mobile game, trainers will need to interact with them in the wild to have a chance at the Shiny.
However, the "catch five water-type Pokémon" task will give trainers a better chance at Shiny Seel.
