Pokemon GO has announced a Research Day featuring Teddiursa, Cubchoo, Pancham, and Stufful. The event will take place on March 29 and will be a chance for Pokemon GO players to add to their collections the adorable quartet of bear Pokemon and other critters available through wild spawns.
Research Day is one of Pokemon GO‘s recurring events that usually features exclusive Field Research tasks for players to complete, increasing their chances of finding these shiny variant critters. The first Pokemon GO Research Day took place in 2019 and featured Feebas. Since then, it has happened another 20 times, most recently in December last year, featuring Trapinch, Horsea, Swablu, and Skrelp. This time, the augmented reality game is preparing for its first Research Day in 2025, highlighting several adorable companions.
Pokemon GO has announced Fuzzy Buddy Research Day for March 29, starting at 2 pm and ending at 5 pm local time. During this period, players will receive themed Field Research tasks that will reward them with encounters of Teddiursa, Cubchoo, Pancham, and Stufful, which can be shiny. The Pokemon GO City Safari will take place on March 29 and 30 in Milan, Mumbai, Santiago, and Singapore, and trainers who attend the event in any of the cities will also be able to join the Fuzzy Buddy Research Day.

As seen in other Pokemon GO events, the Fuzzy Buddy Research Day Paid Timed Research must be completed and have the rewards claimed by March 29, 5 pm local time.
