Pokémon Sleep Timed Research

Event-exclusive Timed Research

Timed Research will be available for Trainers who connect a Pokémon GO Plus +!*

Pokémon GO Plus + lets you play Pokémon GO when you don’t feel like looking at your phone. Using the auto-throw function, you’ll be able to automatically throw Poké Balls at wild Pokémon, while the auto-spin function automatically spins PokéStops. You can also adjust the settings to switch between throwing Great Balls or Ultra Balls. You can also use a Pokémon GO Plus + to easily track your sleep with Pokémon Sleep. Just press the center button and place it by your pillow.

After you pair the Pokémon GO Plus + with Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to take on Timed Research that awards Stardust and encounters with event-themed Pokémon.

* Trainers will be able to complete the Timed Research and claim rewards until Friday, June 14, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time.
