However, it is important to complete all tasks and collect rewards before Monday, October 9, 2023, at 8 PM local time. The event-exclusive Timed Research consists of two steps.

After completing Step One, players must pay attention to the dialogue of the Professor. Prior to moving on to Step Two, a puzzle needs to be solved. Correctly identifying the Pokemon described by the Professor is crucial, as failure to solve the puzzle will result in the player not being eligible for all rewards. The three available options to choose from are Snivy, Rowlet, and Sudowoodo. It is important to note that the correct answer is Sudowoodo, and players should ensure that they select it. Choosing incorrectly will result in the Step Two reward changing from a Sudowoodo Encounter to 25 Pokemon GO XP.
