The month of February is here, and with it, brand new Field Research and Field Research Breakthroughs in Pokemon Go. Espurr is the star of the show this month. You will have a chance to catch this Psychic-type Pokemon by completing the Field Research Breakthrough. Plus, the Field Research throughout the month has loads of rewards in store. From now until March 1, the following rewards are up for grabs.
Pokemon Go February Research Breakthrough
As you may or may not know, a Research Breakthrough happens in Pokemon Go when you receive seven stamps from completing Field Research. The first Field Research you complete each day will reward you with one stamp. That means after seven days, if you’ve collected seven stamps, you’ll have an encounter with Espurr who, for the first time ever in Pokemon Go, could be shiny.
