I just realized we're not getting [edit: I meant that they haven't announced any whereas they always announced it before] any timed research for Dynamax Regice or Gigantamax Pikachu like we used to get in the lead up for dynamax legendaries and gigantamax mons. It's true they didn't always give these for the first couple of gigantamax released (Kanto bird max Mondays had researches for them https://pokemongo.com/post/legendary-flight-2025 ), but the fact that it kind of just became a standard bonus to now be taken away is a huge nerf for f2p since it means we lose about 2 additional max battles. Ig they don't really care for f2p either way, but I just think this doesn't seem to be talked about as much and maybe we could complain to have them bring it back? Maybe it'll fall on deaf ears like when we wanted them to revert the remote raid pass price… Idk
Edit: I meant that on the website post and the infographic there was no info for any timed research leading up to Gigantamax Pikachu. Maybe I'm wrong and they just forgot to announce it? Alright then let's give it til next week.
Look: https://pokemongo.com/news/gigantamax-pikachu-max-battle-day-2026 I don't see where they mention the free timed research
Compare to Gigantamax Meowth article where they clearly mention it https://pokemongo.com/news/gigantamax-meowth-max-battle-day-2026
Maybe they just forgot and I'm being haste to make this assertion, but we'll just have to see next week then.
