Here’s a look at all the tasks and rewards for the Pokemon Go Winter Wishes Timed Research.

The Pokemon Go Winter Holiday: Part 1 event will take place from December 18-25 and feature several Ice-type Pokemon, as well as the debut of Cetoddle and Cetitan.

Trainers will have the opportunity to get a Cetoddle, as well as other rewards thanks to a new event-exclusive Pokemon Go Timed Research called Winter Wishes.

Here’s a look at the entire challenge.

Pokemon Go Winter Wishes tasks & rewards

Here are the tasks & rewards for the Pokemon Go Winter Wishes Timed Research (h/t Leek Duck):

Step 1 of 1

  • Catch five Pokemon – Glacial Lure Module x1
  • Spin three PokeStops or Gyms – Pokemon encounter
  • Power up Pokemon five times – Silver Pinap Berry x2

Rewards: 500 Stardust, 500 XP

We should note that, once Pokemon Go players complete the three tasks, the challenge is not complete just yet.

This is because the Pokemon Go Winter Wishes Timed Research has two branches that can be completed after the first step is complete.

Trainers can choose from two different paths. Pokemon Go players can choose either to collect Stardust or XP to get varying rewards. However, the remainder of the tasks remain the same.
