Pokemon GOplayers in some parts of the world are starting to get back outside as certain countries and states loosen up their stay-at-home orders, but many gamers are still playing it safe for at least a few more weeks. Niantic is stillkeeping the game stay-at-home optimizedfor now and all of May’s events have been developed to play well without leaving the house (with the help of some incense, of course).
The beginning of May has been very exciting for players working through the Throwback Research, but that’s just the start of things. Starting in a few days,Pokemon GOtrainers will also be able to start working through a new timed research event that is all about Snubbull rewards.

The upcoming Snubbull-themed time research event contains more than 50 tasks, which should be great for players who are still working towards their Fairy badge. The festivities kick off on May 9, so players still have a few days left before they are able to get started.
Snubbull Limited Research
On Saturday, July 28, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time, you can enjoy Snubbull Limited Research through special Timed Research tasks. With more than 50 tasks rewarding encounters with Snubbull, you’ll have plenty of chances to catch this Fairy Pokémon. If you’re lucky, you could even encounter a Shiny one!
Be sure to complete the Timed Research during this time, as it will disappear at 10:00 p.m. local time on the dot. This event will be occurring at the same time as the Safari Zone Philadelphia ticketed event and Throwback Challenge 2020: Johto, so there will be much to do this weekend!
Details about the exact tasks and their individual rewards have not been revealed just yet, but that information is certain to come out sometime in the coming days as the event draws closer. Players who want to take part should definitely mark the day on their calendars, because, unlike most Special Research, this one will disappear at 10pm on May 9.
