How to complete the Winter Wishes Timed Research in Pokémon Go

Happy holidays, Pokémon Go players.

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.
