In the current collaboration event with Pokémon Horizons, Pokémon Go players can already encounter the special Pikachu with Captain’s Hat from the anime series. If you need another specimen of this particular variation, though, Niantic has prepared the perfect opportunity to obtain it in the form of a Captain Pikachu Timed Research.

Check all details about the Pokémon Go Captain Pikachu Timed Research including its tasks, rewards, and how to get it below.

Pokémon Go Captain Pikachu Timed Research: all tasks

You have until March 13, 2024, to complete the Pokémon Go Captain Pikachu Timed Research and claim its rewards, otherwise they’ll become unavailable. Its list of tasks, fortunately, is fairly short:

  • Explore 3 km: Poké Ball x30
  • Catch 20 Pokémon: Razz Berry x5
  • Spin 10 PokéStops or Gyms: Revive x3
  • Complete all tasks in this step: XP x5,000, Stardust x2,500, Captain Pikachu encounter

And that’s it – a nice and free Timed Research story to complete for some extra rewards by doing what you’d be doing anyway.
