Here’s the latest I can share about Pokémon GO Timed Research.
-
Timeline and recent example: In 2025 there were timed research events tied to ongoing anime crossover themes (for example celebrating new episodes and featuring special codes to unlock tasks and encounters). These events typically run for a short window (a few days) and grant limited-time rewards upon completion. If you’re chasing a specific codes-based Timed Research, check the in-game Today tab during event periods for availability and deadlines.[1][3]
-
How Timed Research works: Timed Research is a time-limited set of tasks that, once completed, yields rewards and sometimes encounters with notable Pokémon or special cosmetics. They differ from standard Special Research by having a defined end date and visible, countdown-driven tasks. You’ll usually access them from the “Today” tab in the Research view.[3]

Where to find current and past Timed Research listings: Serebii maintains a rolling catalog of Timed Research campaigns and their dates and rewards, while Bulbapedia defines the format and how these fits into the game’s research hierarchy. For the most up-to-date list, check the official events page within Pokémon GO during active campaigns and consult these fan compendiums for historical context.[2][3]
Illustrative example of a typical Timed Research flow:
- Start during a limited window via a game event or code.
- Complete two to four short tasks (e.g., catch certain Pokémon, visit PokéStops, perform a specific action).
- Claim rewards, which may include Stardust, TM, items, and a rare encounter.
- Finish before the countdown ends to avoid losing progress.
If you’d like, I can monitor for the next major event window and summarize the specific tasks, rewards, and deadline as soon as official announcements drop. I can also set up a quick checklist you can use during the event.

The format for Timed Research is nearly identical to that of Special Research, except for the given deadline. In addition, Timed Researches are instead accessed through the "Today" tab of the Research view and do not include dialogue with Professor Willow.
