Niantic has officially launched the second part of their Christmas-themed event, Winter Holiday, with more festive fun and holiday cheer to enjoy with friends and your Buddy Pokémon. With more Pokémon and their Shinies to encounter and more rewards to earn, Trainers will have another opportunity to have their wishes granted this Christmas.

A new free event-exclusive Timed Research, Winter Wishes, is now live for Trainers to claim and complete, which they'll need to select their branched path and earn its respective rewards. We'll look at all the Timed Research tasks and rewards to be claimed for Pokémon GO's Winter Wishes.

Trainers globally will have access to a free event-exclusive Timed Research, Winter Wishes, as they can have their wishes granted and receive bonuses by choosing one of three branched paths. These paths can give you one of the rewards: Egg-hatching distances will be halved when placed in an Incubator, double catch or double Stardust when catching Pokémon.

After choosing your preferred path, you'll need to complete its corresponding tasks to earn various rewards, including items and encounters. Regardless of the path, all Trainers can receive either an Incubator, Egg, or a Star Piece and an encounter with Galarian Mr. Mime for completing the Timed Research.
