The event known as Magnetic Study shines a spotlight on three Electric-type Pokémon in Pokémon Go: Plusle, Magnemite, and Minun. Although it is just a brief event lasting three days, Magnetic Study is packed with activities and challenges for players to partake in.
One of the main attractions of this event is the Timed Research quests, which change daily. It’s crucial for participants to complete these quests before the time limit expires. In addition to the timed quests, players can also look forward to engaging with field research tasks unique to the event.
Moreover, there’s a variety of Magnetic Study bonuses to enjoy. Some of these bonuses will rotate daily, mirroring the Timed Research quests, while two special bonuses will remain available for the entire duration of the Magnetic Study event.
Timed Research Quest Steps during Magnetic Study in Pokémon Go
The Timed Research format for this event differs from previous iterations seen in Pokémon Go. Although the quests will become inaccessible after a certain deadline, this cutoff does not align with the event’s conclusion. Instead, there will be three distinct Timed Research quests, each lasting just one day. Players aiming to collect all available rewards need to complete each quest within the designated timeframe.
The three quests focus on the featured Pokémon: Plusle on Tuesday, October 15th; Magnemite on Wednesday, October 16th; and Minun on Thursday, October 17th.
Given the limited time for completion, we will outline the tasks for each Pokémon to guide players in managing their time effectively. Remember, each quest is only available for a single day!

Understanding the Bonuses of Magnetic Study
Although Magnet Study is a brief event—running until Thursday, October 17th, at 11:59 PM (local time)—it provides enough challenges to keep participants engaged as they anticipate the grand Halloween event starting the following week.
Among the bonuses available throughout Magnetic Study, players can benefit from the enhanced effect of Magnetic Lure Modules, which will attract a greater variety of Pokémon. Additionally, the chances of encountering shiny versions of Magnemite, Plusle, and Minun have been increased, offering trainers a golden opportunity to expand their shiny collections.
Moreover, there are rotating bonuses active during the event, which reset with each new day:
- Tuesday, October 15th: Double Catch XP
