Ten years ago, Pokémon GO changed the world. To celebrate this massive milestone, Niantic has launched the 10th Anniversary Party event, complete with a special Timed Research questline full of nostalgic rewards, classic Kanto Pokémon, and generous Stardust.
This Timed Research is available to all trainers and runs throughout the event. It is divided into multiple stages that reward you for simple activities like catching Pokémon, hatching eggs, and walking. Completing the entire research line gives you a commemorative medal and a rare legendary encounter.
