In Goyang, South Korea, the Pokémon GO Safari Zone: Goyang live event is now going on at the Ilsan Lake Park. Niantic and The Pokémon Company have introduced another gameplay activity accessible during the live event in addition to the event-exclusive gameplay and content.
From September 24 and 25, 2022, Trainers will have access to special Timed Research in Pokémon GO. The awards received for completing the Timed Research challenges for the Pokémon GO Safari Zone: Goyang live event are described in this guide.
Through the official Pokémon GO Twitter and Niantic Support accounts, developer Niantic introduced the Safari Zone: Goyang live event’s Timed Research challenges, which are only available for this particular event.
The challenges will start on September 24, 2022, at 8 a.m. local time, and end on September 25, 2022, at 8 p.m. local time. It’s important to note that Timed Research tasks differ from Special Research Tasks in that they vanish after a set amount of time has passed after Trainers have finished them.
Below, we’ve detailed the event-exclusive Timed Research challenges to complete and the rewards which are being offered:
- Explore for 1km: Encounter
- Explore for 2km: Encounter with Spritzee
- Explore for 3km: Encounter with Spritzee
- Explore for 4km: Encounter with Spritzee
- Explore for 5km: Encounter with Spritzee
Trainers can go to the Today View section of the Event page in-app to access the Safari Zone: Goyang Timed Research tasks. The rewards for the Timed Research event as well as the rewards for each challenge can be claimed here. Trainers can now access the Field Research and Special Research Tasks via the Event page’s Today View category.
Trainers will receive special incentives for completing the aforementioned exploration Timed Research challenges. They will receive 1,000 Stardust in addition to a bonus encounter with Spritzee with a chance to see its Shiny form, which is necessary for energising Pokémon in PvP battles.
Finally, Trainers can consult the official Niantic Support Twitter account and the FAQ Support page for the most recent news and updates if they have technical problems accessing the challenges or collecting rewards.
