How to complete the Winter Wishes Timed Research in Pokémon Go

The Pokémon Go Winter Holidays Part 2 event is here, making timed research available to all players who log into the game while it’s active. Eventually, when players receive the timed research, they are given the opportunity to choose one of three options, each of which is a unique reward. These rewards aren’t drastically different though, so there’s no clear best option, but it depends on what items you want to get. Here’s what you need to know to complete the Winter Wishes timed research in Pokémon Go.

All Winter’s Wishes Timed Research Tasks and Rewards in Pokémon Go

The Winter’s Wishes timed research is available to all Pokémon Go players for free. When you get the Timed Research ticket, the first set of tasks is the same for all players, but upon completion you must choose one of three branching paths. There are minor changes for each path, mainly with a different end reward, but everything else is the same.
