It is once again time to hit the trails of adventure in Pokémon Go’s annual Adventure Week event, which puts a focus on getting out, exploring, and researching—with a specific focus on Rock-type and Fossil Pokémon.
Set to run from July 27 to Aug. 2, this will be the final standalone Pokémon Go event leading into Go Fest 2023 and will feature the debut of Mega Tyranitar.
Players who want to train up their own Mega Tyranitar will need to challenge Mega Raids during the event to get Mega Tyranitar Energy, which can then be used to Mega Evolve a Tyranitar they have caught. Mega Tyranitar will be available in Mega Raids until Aug. 4, and don’t sleep on Regidrago in five-star raids either.
Outside of raids, players can encounter every Fossil Pokémon available in Pokémon Go, which is key to completing four different Collection Challenges and hunting for Shiny Amaura and Shiny Tyrunt, which make their debut here too.
There is also new Adventures Near and Far Timed Research to complete with two different paths that shift what tasks you will need to complete. Ticketed Timed Research is also available for $2 and will give players more encounters with Amaura and Tyrunt.
Pair that research with all of the other content, and you have plenty to do during Adventure Week.

Branched Choice: Sightseeing Adventure or Studious Adventure?
Niantic’s new favorite thing is tossing a branching path into Timed Research for normal events that really don’t change much.
Since Adventures Near and Far Timed Research is free for all players, you can complete all of the tasks and get every reward easily enough. Once you complete the initial page of research, you will be asked to choose between a path based on Sightseeing or being Studious.
Your choice won’t change the rewards you receive at the end of each page, only the tasks you need to complete. Personally, I will be picking the Sightseeing Adventure because it seems easier and requires you to complete less Field Research, so you won’t have additional RNG deciding how long you have to play to complete a page.

You can purchase the Adventure Week 2023 Timed Research in the in-game shop until Aug. 1 at 8pm local time. However, it is only available to complete until Aug. 2 at 8pm local time when the event is over, so purchasing it earlier is better for players like me who will likely only get out and play during the weekend.
