Timed Research in City Experience
Ticket-holding Trainers (whether it’s a GO Fest ticket or City Explorer ticket) will receive four Timed Research opportunities on their first day of Citywide Gameplay. Each Timed Research is based on one of four City Districts. Trainers will need to explore at least two City Districts and complete the Timed Research to achieve the in-game Pokémon GO Expert medal. Only Trainers attending the in-person Pokémon GO Fest events will be able to complete the Timed Research and earn this special commemorative in-game medal.
The Pokémon GO Expert medal requires Trainers to physically explore the unique traits of each host city through Pokémon GO and complete Research Tasks associated with each City District.
If a Trainer completes at least two Trainer Challengess they will receive a Bonus Timed Research during which they can choose to encounter either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y with Mega level 1 unlocked.
If a Trainer completes at least two Trainer Challenges, they can choose to encounter either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y with its first Mega Level unlocked.
Trainers playing in the same GO Fest city on multiple days will only get one set of Trainer Challenge Timed Research (including Bonus Timed Research) and rewards.
Trainers playing during Pokémon GO Fest at multiple GO Fest host cities will get one set of Trainer Challenge Timed Research (including Bonus Timed Research) and rewards per city—up to three sets.
