Pokémon Go Fest 2022 best Choose Path in Pokémon Go
The Pokémon Go Fest 2022 special research quest has two options that determine what challenges you’ll encounter and modify a number of the rewards you get. It’s essential to note that once you’ve made a choice, it’s irreversible.
The first option appears after you’ve finished Step 1, and it offers you three options: Battle, Catching, and Exploring. Each of these selections is concerned with a different set of activities in Pokémon Go, as follows:
- Battle – Raids, battling Team Go Rocket, purifying Shadow Pokémon, and battling in the Go Battle League
- Catch – Catching different species of Pokémon and conducting different types of throws
- Explore – Hatching eggs, completing field research tasks, walking specific distances and activities with your buddy Pokémon
Some of the rewards you get change depending on which path you select. For example, the Explore Path provides incubators, while the Battle Path offers different TMs and more Premium Battle Passes as prizes.
When it comes to deciding which path is appropriate for you, we propose thinking about the activities you like in Pokémon and the rewards that appeal to you the most.
The second option you get is to pick the level of difficulty for the rest of the quest – Relaxed, Standard, and Master. It’s worth noting that this option only affects the stickers you’ll earn from completing the quest and certain challenges.
Choose Relaxed if you want to finish this quest quickly, for example. However, if you’re seeking a longer challenge, Master is the way to go.
