Pokémon Go Captain Pikachu Timed Research: how to get

You won’t get the Pokémon Go Captain Pikachu Timed Research by simply logging in or buying a ticket from the store. Instead, you’ll need to redeem the following Pokémon Go promo code:

If you don’t know how to do that, check our Pokémon Go code redemption guide. Alternatively click this link bringing you directly to the Pokémon Go web store's code redemption page. Once you’ve redeemed the code, log back into the game and the Captain Pikachu Timed Research should appear on your Timed Research page.

Pokémon Go Captain Pikachu Timed Research: all tasks

You have until March 13, 2024, to complete the Pokémon Go Captain Pikachu Timed Research and claim its rewards, otherwise they’ll become unavailable. Its list of tasks, fortunately, is fairly short:

Explore 3 km: Poké Ball x30
Catch 20 Pokémon: Razz Berry x5
Spin 10 PokéStops or Gyms: Revive x3
Complete all tasks in this step: XP x5,000, Stardust x2,500, Captain Pikachu encounter

And that’s it – a nice and free Timed Research story to complete for some extra rewards by doing what you’d be doing anyway.
