The latest Pokémon Go Timed Research event, “Beloved Buddies,” requires players to make a choice between Candela or Arlo after completing the first step.
Your decision will determine the research tasks and rewards you receive, so picking the right path depends on your playstyle.
Candela Path – Best for PvP Players
If you’re interested in PvP battles, Candela offers:
- Dunsparce (Great League meta-relevant Pokémon)
- Poffins for buddy Pokémon interactions
- Tasks related to adding a new friend and trading Pokémon, which might be difficult for solo players.
Arlo Path – Best for PvE and Team Rocket Hunters
Arlo is the better option if you prefer PvE battles or are hunting Team Rocket leaders:
- Cubone (evolves into Marowak, a solid Great League option)
- Scizor (Mega Evolution potential, strong Bug-type attacker)
- A Rocket Radar to track down Giovanni and Team Go Rocket leaders
- Tasks involving defeating Team Rocket grunts and battling Arlo
Final Verdict: Which Path to Choose?
- Pick Candela if you want Dunsparce for PvP and don’t mind making new friends in-game.
- Pick Arlo if you want Scizor, a Rocket Radar, and a PvE-friendly path without social-based tasks.
Since the event runs until February 15 at 8 p.m. local time, make sure to complete all tasks before the deadline to claim your rewards.
