All Timed Research Tasks and Rewards During the Rough Event in Pokémon Go

Every year, Pokémon Go players get hyped for Go Fest. And for Go Fest 2023, things have heated up a month early with access to the In the Rough Timed Research. 

This Timed Research is a special perk for those who grab a Go Fest 2023 ticket in advance. 

By buying your tickets early, you get a chance to catch Carbink, a newcomer, as a reward. This is the only shot to get the Jewel Pokémon before Go Fest in August.

Want a Carbink before it becomes widely available this Summer? Here’s how to secure the In the Rough Timed Research and all its goodies.

How to Get the In the Rough Timed Research

To start, you need to move fast. This unique Pokémon Go content is timed. Secure your Pokémon Go Fest 2023 – Global ticket by July 5 to unlock this rewarding set of research tasks.
