How to complete the Winter Wishes Timed Research in Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go’s Winter Holidays Part 2 event is here, and with it, a Timed Research is available to all players who log in to the game while it’s active. When players receive the Timed Research, there will eventually be a choice to select one of three options, each unique reward. However, these rewards are not drastically different, so there’s no decidedly best option, but it does come down to what items you want to receive. Here’s what you need to know about how to complete the Winter Wishes Timed Research in Pokémon Go.

All Winter Wishes Timed Research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

The Winter Wishes Timed Research is available, for free, to all Pokémon Go players. When you receive the Timed Research ticket, the first series of tasks will be the same for all players, but upon completing them, you will need to pick from one of three branching paths. There are minor changes for each path, primarily with the final reward being different, but everything else is the same.
