‘Choose Your Path: Fossil Fun’ June 2026 Timed Research in Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go has introduced “Choose Your Path,” a new timed research feature that offers players weekly choice-based bonuses. The current iteration, titled “Choose Your Path: Fossil Fun,” runs from June 17-21, 2026, providing players with three distinct research path options, each offering different rewards and bonuses.
The feature becomes available every Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time and remains active through the following Sunday at 8 p.m., providing a consistent weekly gameplay opportunity. This timed research is designed specifically for weeks without major Pokémon Go events, giving players structured activities and meaningful progression goals.
By selecting from the three available paths, players can tailor their research experience based on their playstyle and current priorities, allowing them to optimize their weekly gameplay rewards. The choice-based system encourages engagement by letting players decide which bonuses align best with their current objectives, whether that’s catching specific Pokémon types, earning resources, or completing other gameplay goals.
This regular feature represents another element of Pokémon Go’s ongoing live-service model, designed to maintain weekly engagement and provide players with reasons to return to the game consistently. The structured format with clear start and end times helps players plan their gaming sessions around these timed events.
