Pokemon Go has launched a sleepy set of Timed Research with the Slumbering Sands event. However, there’s no time to doze off if you’re a Trainer who wants to grab all the rewards that feature in the week-long festivities.
There’s plenty of content to look forward to here and a lot of opportunities for encounters with new costumed Pokemon and a range of Shinies. The full details on the encounters can be viewed here, but for now, let’s get stuck into what is on the line in terms of Timed Research and how you can get involved.
