Special shoutout to Leekduck for help with this information.

There’s quite a lot of overlap between these Special Research and Timed Research tasks, especially when it comes to catching Pokemon, so you’ll probably be able to complete them simultaneously.

While the A Mystic Hero Special Research quest will be available to complete in your own time, the A Mystic Hero Timed Research quest will expire on Monday, April 17, 2023, at 8PM local time.
