To unlock the Pokémon Go LAIC 2025 Timed Research, you need to get a unique code from watching the event for 30 minutes while having Twitch drops enabled and connected to your Pokémon Trainer Club account.

To get this to work, you need to complete the following steps before opening the Twitch stream:

  1. Link your account to your Twitch through the Pokémon Twitch Rewards page. 
  2. Watch the Pokémon Go Twitch channel for at least 30 minutes once drops are enabled. You can’t mute the stream because it doesn’t count towards the timer.
  3. You can track your progress at any time and claim your drop code from the Twitch drops Inventory page.
  4. Redeem the code in Pokémon Go.

You should be able to put the stream in another tab while getting your 30-minute quota, but if you mute it or minimize it, it sometimes doesn’t work. To be safe, keep the stream up at all times to maximize your chances of getting the research tasks and rewards.
