My first shiny was a moltres from one of those boxes… the good old days…
Now you get Parasect lol
That’s how I got so many of them in the beginning, now I really have to raid for them
Was there for a brief moment. Got suicune and entei. Missed raiku and I thought the legendaries were guaranteed when you started playing
take me back
i remember when i first played and got a zapdos, while on the school bus. i was screaming
That’s how I got my shiny Hi-Hoh
And now you get galarian mime…
Got a hundo Suicune from research breakthrough
that’s how i got my two shiny groudons and shiny latios… sad. i want those times back
Legendaries in breakthrough boxes in 2020
The most disgusting thing about this is that Niantic reverted so many other pandemic changes… but they won’t revert legendaries in research breakthroughs. It looks like they pick and choose, based on the opposite of what players want. If their goal is to run the game into the ground, they succeeded. There’s absolutely nothing positive to come out of this game in the past 12 months other than the Mega revamp. Looks like it’s only a matter of time before Pokémon Go ends up like Wizards Unite.
I get ass Pokémon. Worse that parasect. Furfou too
And we all complained
That’s how I got a shiny Ho-oh and the rest of the legendaries !
Yea I got 2/3 legendary birds and all the three of the legendary dogs back with those research breakthroughs, I think they should either boost the shiny rate of breakthroughs if they aren’t going to give us the really exciting rewards anymore
I got my research breakthrough today. It was that stupid bird that gives out presents. Those things are so common I don’t even check it’s IVs, straight to delete.
How I got my shundo groudon.
That’s how I got my one and only shiny Kyogre. Boy, do I miss when this game actually rewarded you.
U caught Moltres, my fav legendary on my Birthday!
I feel honored
Dude… The research now is absolutely worthless unless you do a paid one, like for shiny Jirachi. And that just feels slimy

Whoa whoa whoa. You mean Furfrou isn’t a legendary?
I got a deino from mine today. Like just remove it at this point, it’s insulting. 7 days for a fucking deino.
You mean when the game was good?
I wish I kept them now. never would have though the boxes would be as bad as they are now
#TakeMeBack
This is a very valid complaint about Niantic and something they need to bring back. They took out legendaries during the pandemic and its one of the pandemic changes that havent been reversed but should.
I used to barely put effort into research breakthroughs. I’d average about 2 a month.
If I only knew they wouldn’t last forever.
Pepperidge Farm remembers…
(In all seriousness, I very much miss the research box giving legends – it was nice to have a way to get them without having to do raids or lots of PvP.)

I got my perfect shiny groudon from a research breakthrough the night either ultra or regular sun and moon were released. Last time the boxes were really worth anything
