Overview
- A global timed research event is live that rewards players with a fully statted Mewtwo and a Master Ball after completing simple in-game tasks.
- The required tasks ask players to capture and power up ten different Pokémon, a low-effort design meant to make the reward widely reachable.
- The Master Ball is a single-use item that guarantees a catch, and the perfect-IV Mewtwo comes ready for collection or competitive use.
- Players have a limited window to complete the research before the event ends on September 6, 2026, so the offer is time-bound.
- Niantic framed the promotion as a 10th-anniversary celebration that aims to spark nostalgia and re-engage lapsed and active players with an easy, high-value reward.
