Paid Timed Research ($4.99)
For $4.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency), access event-exclusive Timed Research. Rewards include a Meteorite, Rayquaza Mega Energy, a Rayquaza encounter, and more. Tickets can be gifted to Great Friends or higher. Research expires July 26, 2026 at 8 p.m. local time. Non-refundable.
