If you are new to the Go Fest rush, Pokémon Go’s The Rise of Moonlight Timed Research is a follow-up to A Glimpse of Daylight Timed Research, which released in late April. Both act as early bonuses for players who have already bought Go Fest 2024: Global tickets, and you only have a limited time to finish this new addition.

Just like with the A Glimpse of Daylight Timed Research, you need to have purchased your Pokémon Go Fest 2024: Global tickets by a specific date to gain access to The Rise of Moonlight Timed Research.

  1. Purchase your Go Fest 2024: Global ticket.
  2. Claim The Rise of Moonlight Timed Research by June 6 by playing the game.
  3. Complete the research before it all expires on July 13.

If you already claimed the A Glimpse of Daylight Timed Research before its May 6 cutoff, you still have until July 13—the day after Go Fest 2024: Global ends—to complete it.
