10th Anniversary Celebration
Wednesday, August 12, at 4:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. local time
Celebrate 10 Years of Pokémon GO
As part of the 10th anniversary celebration, Trainers around the world will be able to enjoy free Timed Research leading to an encounter with a Mewtwo with maxed-out stats* and a Special Background.** Mewtwo caught from the Timed Research will also have the third Mega Level unlocked for Mega Mewtwo Y.
We’re excited to mark this milestone by sharing this special reward with Trainers everywhere. Let’s celebrate the journey we’ve taken together over the past 10 years!
Please note that Timed Research expires. The tasks associated with this Timed Research must be completed and their rewards must be claimed before Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. local time.
