Grow Wiser with Research Opportunities

Another way to grow as a Pokémon Trainer is through research opportunities, and the Growing Up event features both Field Research and paid Timed Research! Trainers can complete event-themed Field Research tasks to earn encounters with event-themed Pokémon. Premium Timed Research is available for US$4.99 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), with rewards include one Incubator, 15 Pinap Berries, 3,000 Stardust, encounters with event-themed Pokémon, and an event-themed Avatar pose. Research must be completed and rewards must be claimed by May 7, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. local time.

GO out and grow, Trainers!
