However, before diving into the details of the Timed Research tasks and rewards associated with Pokemon GO’s Sinnoh Throwback Challenge, it is worth mentioning that this event will conclude on Friday, May 29 at 1pm local time. This gives players that want to unlock the Special Research at the end of Throwback Challenge 2020 just one week to complete all of the Sinnoh Throwback tasks in PoGO, and they should thus not delay on getting started.
