Timed Research

Menu for Psychic Spectacular

A Timed Research (Japanese: タイムチャレンジ Time Challenge) is a set of tasks assigned in Pokémon GO that has a specific time period during which it may be completed. The format for Timed Research is nearly identical to that of Special Research, except for the given deadline. In addition, Timed Researches are instead accessed through the "Today" tab of the Research view and do not include dialogue with Professor Willow. If completed, a Timed Research is listed in the "Special" tab alongside the completed Special Research tasks.
