Yeah, it looks like Niantic changes the Field Research tasks and Breakthrough Box encounters every two months now. And yes I agree the quest is too hard to find.

I found and completed a Spinda research task on Sunday… got a non-shiny 93% IV no.8 and deemed it unworthy of posting a picture in this thread.
Hhmmm… Extrapolating my current find/completion task rate by the percentage chance of getting a shiny - I would expect to see a green one about every 45 years.

Found a glut of Spinda research today… so I put all my eggs in the same big shiny basket… 
…dutifully completed the arduous task…
…but my reward was a load of codswallop!

I finally had someone that knew what they were doing complete my 5 great throws in a row during a Mewtwo raid today. I’ve been working on same Spinda quest for 2 months now.

I did Spinda after breakthrough switch yesterday - Groudon helped a lot 
- and I got form 1 - not form 3 like it was in September.
BTW: 6 Spindas I got till now are girls… including shiny one - is it just bad luck - or Spinda boys are rare?
