The Timeless Travels special research quest in Pokémon Go is designed to last until the end of the Season of Timeless Travels in March 2024. (Though it appears to be using time-gated challenges to do so...)

Still, it's worth staying on track with Timeless Travels as, since its Season is themed around the Hisui region, it should hopefully offer the chance to catch some of the Hisuian Pokémon in Pokémon Go.

Below you'll find all of the Timeless Travel quest steps and rewards in Pokémon Go.

How Timeless Travels works in Pokémon Go

Timeless Travels is the Season-long special research for, unsurprisingly, the Season of Timeless Travels in Pokémon Go.

It was released on Monday 11th December 2023 and, while it hasn't been confirmed by Niantic, we wouldn't be surprised if you must unlock this quest during the Season of Timeless Travels to complete it. Thankfully, this gives you until Friday 1st March 2023 at 10am (local time) to do so.

Once you've unlocked Timeless Travels, you're free to complete it at your own pace though due to being a special research quest and lacking a deadline.

It is important to note, however, that it includes time-gated challenges, which can only be completed by doing specific tasks on successive days. So, if you play on completing Timeless Travels, you must remember to complete these tasks every day or else it might take you longer than you think.

Outside of the time-gated challenges, Timeless Travels works exactly the same as any other research quest in Pokémon Go where you must complete a series of challenges, collecting rewards as you go, until you've completed a quest step. At this point, you can earn the rewards for the overall step and move on to the next one, repeating this cycle until the quest is complete.

Good luck completing the Timeless Travels quest!
