In Pokémon GO, the new Timed Research for the Dark Flames event is running. Choose the path of Fire or Dark. We show all tasks and rewards so you can make it easier to decide.
What kind of research is this? In line with the start of the event Dark Flames, all trainers can also expect a Timed Research. You have the choice between two paths. One path focuses on Fire Pokémon, while the other features Dark Pokémon.
Here we show you an overview of all tasks and rewards for the Branching Timed Research.

Level Reward: If you complete all tasks and claim the corresponding rewards, you will also receive 3 Special Candies, 5 Razz Berries and 1,000 Stardust.
Choose a path: After the first chapter of the Timed Research, you must choose a path. This will change which species of Pokémon you receive and which ones you should catch or evolve.
