The Inbound From Ultra Space event in Pokémon Go allows you to take on some of the most fearsome raid encounters in the mobile game. Ultra Beasts are pouring out worldwide, and you can complete a Timed Research alongside this event.

The Timed Research provides you with additional encounters against fearsome Ultra Beasts. These are rare Pokémon you can add to your collection without challenging them to raid battles, which might appeal to many players who don’t tackle the larger five-star raids too often in Pokémon Go. The tasks are relatively simple, but you want to act quickly to earn all the rewards.

Two types of Timed Research quests are available for the Inbound From Ultra Space event in Pokémon Go. The first is available to all players and features two series of tasks. The Premium Timed Research is one you have to purchase and provides you with XL Candy of the various Ultra Beasts. XL Candy is how you can power up a Pokémon from levels 40 to 50, further enhancing their abilities against other players.

For those who don’t want to focus on gathering XL Candy for any of the Ultra Beasts, skipping the Premium Timed Research for Inbound From Ultra Space is a good idea. But the free one does offer encounters against any of the nine Ultra Beasts that can appear in Pokémon Go‘s five-star raids. I recommend focusing on these tasks to earn chances to catch these distinct Pokémon.

Here’s the full breakdown of how to complete the standard Inbound From Ultra Space Timed Research in Pokémon Go.
