The Limited Research in Pokémon GO runs from August 18th in line with the World Cup event. Your task: Fight against challengers. Where to find them and what rewards are available, we will show you here.
How is the research available? The limited-time research is active for all trainers playing during the World Cup event in Pokémon GO. It will be unlocked at 10:00 AM local time on August 18th and will remain active until August 23rd at 8:00 PM local time.
Important: This is NOT the research that you can obtain through codes. We have a separate article about the promo codes for the World Cup event.

Fighting Challengers – Where to find them?
Here are the locations: You can find the challengers distributed at PokéStops in the game. These are NPCs (non-player characters).
These challengers use teams with the attackers that the players used during the regional championships.
Important Tip: If PokéStops are scarce for you and you have difficulty meeting several challengers, you can complete the tasks with a single NPC. The task is called “Fight against”, not “defeat one”. So if you find a challenger, you can leave the battle after about 3 seconds and restart it. This counts every time for the research.
After you have won a battle against such an NPC, they will disappear from the map.
What do you think of the limited-time research? Will you try to find as many challengers as possible and see what exciting teams they come with? After all, these are teams that could win championships. Or would you rather quickly complete the tasks and tackle them with a single challenger?
