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 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.

The City Experience Timed Research will be active for the duration of the event as listed below:

Pokémon GO Fest: Tokyo – Monday, May 25, at 12:00 a.m. through Monday, June 1, at 11:59 p.m. local time
Pokémon GO Fest: Chicago – Thursday, June 4, at 12:00 a.m. through Sunday, June 7, at 11:59 p.m. local time

Super Mega Raid at Pokémon GO Fest Park

Ticket-holding Pokémon GO Fest attendees are invited to join a Super Mega Raid at the end of their ticketed park session. For the last thirty minutes of the Park Experience, new Gyms will appear that allow over one thousand Trainers to take on Mega Mewtwo together!

Both Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y will appear during this part of the event. Stay alert, Trainers—your help is essential to keep Team GO Rocket away from Mewtwo!

Mewtwo caught from the Super Mega Raids will have a Pokémon GO Fest 2026 Location Background and Mega Level 1 unlocked*!

More information will be shared to ensure as many Trainers as possible can participate.

Be sure to join this exciting experience and leave Pokémon GO Fest with new Pokémon and exciting memories.

*If you’re lucky, it might even be at Mega Level 2 or 3!

Trainers attending in-person GO Fest events will be the first to investigate and discover a Mythical Pokémon’s first appearance in Pokémon GO!

Ticket-holding Trainers attending the in-person event in Tokyo Waterfront City will conduct Special Research* that leads to an encounter with Zeraora, the Thunderclap Pokémon—and it’s all included in your event ticket!

Ticket-holding Trainers can only encounter Zeraora once no matter how many Pokémon GO Fest 2026 Special Research stories they acquire and complete. If you obtain more than one Special Research story that leads to Zeraora by attending multiple GO Fest park session events, all of the Special Research stories after the first one will award Zeraora Candy instead of an additional encounter with Zeraora.

*Special Research does not expire, so you can complete it at your own pace!

Mewtwo will return to five-star raids!

Mewtwo*, the Genetic Pokémon, is returning to raids during Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Tokyo. This powerful Pokémon will be the ultimate addition to any battle-ready Trainer’s Pokédex.
