Players can jump into the game immediately for a special Timed Research event, running from now until September 6. This is a sort of follow-up to the event in NYC's Times Square, where players in attendance saw the character arrive in grand fashion for a special takeover of the area. But now players across teh globe can take a shot at getting them locally. We have more details from the team about how you can snag them below.

Snag Your Own Maxed-Out Mewtwo In Pokémon GO For The Next Month

As part of the 10th anniversary celebration, Trainers around the world will be able to enjoy free Timed Research leading to an encounter with a Mewtwo with maxed-out stats and a Special Background. Mewtwo caught from the Timed Research will also have the third Mega Level unlocked for Mega Mewtwo Y. We're excited to mark this milestone by sharing this special reward with Trainers everywhere. Let's celebrate the journey we've taken together over the past 10 years!

Please note that Timed Research expires. The tasks associated with this Timed Research must be completed, and their rewards must be claimed before Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. local time. (Trainers who caught a Mewtwo at the in-person Times Square event on July 9 will receive a Mewtwo with different stats and different rewards. Mewtwo with a Times Square background will be available again at some point in the future.)
