Here’s the latest on timed research in Pokémon GO based on recent reports up to 2025–2026.
-
What timed research is: Timed Research is a set of tasks with a fixed completion window, accessed from the Today tab in the Research view, and does not include Professor Willow dialogue. If completed, it appears under Special Research with other completed tasks. This is the current format as described by official resources and fan wikis .
-
Recent examples and availability: In 2025, Niantic and partners ran timed research tied to events like the Pokémon Horizons anime, with codes granting access to free or bonus Timed Research tasks and rewards, including encounters with specific Pokémon and item rewards. These events have had explicit redemption windows (e.g., a few days to claim and complete) and sometimes included exclusive encounter chances. For instance, codes were released for limited windows to celebrate new episodes, with deadlines measured in local time. This pattern aligns with ongoing event-based Timed Research activities observed in 2025 .
-
Past and ongoing campaigns: A consolidated list of Timed Research campaigns is maintained by community sources, cataloging tasks and rewards across many campaigns and dates. While many entries are historical, the page continues to reflect ongoing campaigns and their timeframes, illustrating how Timed Research tends to appear in bursts around events or seasons .
-
How to stay updated: Because Timed Research is event-driven and has strict time windows, the best approach is to check the in-game Today tab under Research, and follow official Pokémon GO social channels or trusted fan sites for new Timed Research announcements and codes. Community roundups (like Serebii’s Timed Research pages) provide a ready reference to current and upcoming tasks and rewards, including dates and eligible Pokémon .
-
Notable recent formats: Some Timed Research runs include premium or bonus variants and may coincide with seasonal events or partnerships. These often feature limited-time tasks, guaranteed encounters, or exclusive cosmetics, and require timely redemption within the stated window .
If you’d like, I can tailor a quick, up-to-date checklist for you based on your current in-game date and region (São Paulo) and pull the exact current Timed Research window and rewards from the latest announcements. I can also summarize the exact steps to redeem codes and complete tasks, with a timeline you can follow.
