Similar to the previous events featuring Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, Researchers will be collecting samples of Pokémon Materials to redeem for a variety of valuable items in the Event Exchange. These include Raikou, Entei, and Suicune Incense, and Main Skill Seeds, as well as Premier Biscuit items specifically intended to help Researchers befriend these three Legendary Pokémon. Premier Biscuits are a special blend of biscuit only able to be used with Raikou, Entei, and Suicune during this event, increasing their friendship points by 6. Following the conclusion of the event, any leftover Premier Biscuits will be automatically converted into Great Biscuits. Prices for items in the exchange will vary during the event, with discounts on various items in the event's second week.

Methods of obtaining Pokémon Materials have not changed from these previous events, with the main way to acquire them being from daily sleep research. The exact number of Pokémon Materials received by Researchers will depend on the species of Pokémon sleeping around Snorlax, and the sleep styles that Researchers find them in. In addition, Researchers will also be able to collect Pokémon Materials from completing a set of special limited-time missions that will be added on top of the standard weekly missions, and as a rare reward from the Research Community, Researchers unable to access the Research Community screen will receive limited-time special gifts of 70 Pokémon Materials at the beginning of each week of this event, on September 8th and 15th.
