Pokémon GO gives every Trainer free research leading to a perfect-stat Mewtwo

Pokémon GO is celebrating its tenth anniversary with one of the most generous universal rewards the location-based game has offered. Trainers around the world can complete free Timed Research leading to an encounter with a Mewtwo carrying maximum possible individual values and a special anniversary background. The research also awards a Master Ball and Mega Mewtwo Energy, while the resulting Mewtwo arrives with the third Mega Level for Mega Mewtwo Y already unlocked.

That makes the reward useful even to experienced players who already own several strong Mewtwo. The anniversary campaign is clearly designed to encourage former users to return while giving current players something meaningful rather than another purely cosmetic item. Pokémon GO remains unusually dependent on long-term community participation, so a universally obtainable legendary Pokémon is a smart way to create a shared milestone.

Players still need to complete the Timed Research before its deadline rather than simply receiving Mewtwo automatically. The celebration also builds toward September's Mega Finale activities, where Mega Mewtwo X and Y will feature prominently. Ten years after launch, Pokémon GO is therefore using one of its most famous Pokémon to reconnect both veteran and returning Trainers.
