Should You Choose Spark or Sierra in the Pokemon GO Holiday Part 1 Research?

Feb 06,25(9 months ago)

In Pokemon GO's Holiday Part 1 branching research, trainers face a crucial decision: assist Spark or Sierra. While Niantic's official announcement omits this free research, it runs from December 17th to December 22nd, 9:59 AM local time. This three-part research culminates in a choice between these two paths.

The core difference lies in the Pokemon type focus and reward encounter. The choice isn't drastically impactful, but it influences your catching strategy and desired reward.
