GO Wild Area Special and Timed Research is available starting from November 23, 2024 at 10:00 am local time. Trainers participating in the event will be able to complete all of this throughout both days of the event.
The main Special Research released during Wild Area 2024 is a branching timed research line featuring Toxtricity and Rock Star Pikachu. The research starts with the “An Accomplished Trainer” stage, branches into five “Amp it Up” or five “Keep it Low Key” stages, and unlocks the “A Truly Accomplished Trainer” stage.
