Thankfully, getting your hands on the Captain Pikachu Timed Research in Pokemon Go is simple, all you need to do is type in the code: CAPTAINPIKACHU in the Pokemon Go online store.

Once you’ve signed in and redeemed the code, you’ll be given three different research tasks:

  • Explore 3km: 30 Poke Balls
  • Catch 20 Pokemon: 5 Razz Berries
  • Spin 10 Pokestops or Gyms: 3 Revives

When you’ve completed all those challenges, you’ll get 2,500 Stardust, 5,000 XP, and the chance to catch Pikachu wearing Cap’s Hat from Pokemon Horizons.

However, you only have until March 13 at 11:59 pm local time to grab the code and complete the research, so it’s best to get to catching as soon as possible.
