Pokemon Go’s 8th Anniversary Party event comes with two Timed Research quests for trainers to take on. Here’s how to complete them and earn your rewards.

Niantic’s monster-catching mobile game is celebrating its eighth anniversary with an in-game event fittingly named the 8th Anniversary Party.

During the event, trainers can catch plenty of costumed Pokemon, including Party Hat Charmander, Party Hat Wurmple, Cake Hat Pikachu, and many more.

Additionally, this event offers trainers the chance to complete not one but two Timed Reserach quests. Let’s go over how trainers can access each Timed Reserach quest, as well as how to complete each task and earn the rewards that come with them.

How to access 8th Anniversary Party Timed Research

As this event grants access to two separate Timed Research quests, there are different ways for trainers to access each of them.

For the standard 8th Anniversary Party Timed Research quest, trainers simply need to log into the game during the event to gain access to and complete the quest. Of course, as this is a Timed quest, players have until Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at 8 PM local time to claim their rewards or they will be lost.

As the name would suggest, the ‘8th Anniversary Party: Premium’ is a paid quest, meaning only trainers who purchase it for $2 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency) will have access to it. Like the standard quest players have until Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at 8 PM local time to claim their rewards or they will be lost.

There you have it. That’s everything you need to know about both of Pokemon Go’s 8th Anniversary Party Timed Research quests. For more Pokemon Go guides, check out our hub for the 8th Anniversary Party event and our list of every Pokemon Go event happening in July 2024.
