The Pokemon GO Fuzzy Buddy Research Day is scheduled for March 29, 2025, and will run from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. This exciting one-day event showcases bear-like Pokemon, specifically Teddiursa, Cubchoo, Pancham, and Stufful. Not only do these creatures appear adorable, but each has impressive evolutionary potentials that can be formidable in battles.
Participants in the Fuzzy Buddy Research Day will engage in various tasks to earn encounters with these featured Pokemon. The event is designed to be straightforward, focusing on completing research objectives to facilitate interaction with the beloved critters.
