Spark or Sierra: Festive Pokemon Holiday Quest

By IsaacJan 05,2025

In Pokémon GO's Holiday Part 1 branching research, trainers face a choice: aid Spark or Sierra. While Niantic's official announcement omits details on this free event research (available December 17th - 22nd, 9:59 AM local time), the decision hinges on preferred Pokémon types and reward encounters.

Choosing Spark or Sierra: A Breakdown

Both paths offer similar overall rewards, but the specific Pokémon encountered and caught differ. The key choice lies in whether you prefer Ice-type or Fire-type Pokémon.

Spark's Research: An Icy Path

Sierra's research centers on Fire-type Pokémon, culminating in a Shadow Vulpix encounter in Part 2. Part 3 rewards remain consistent with Spark's path, including the Sandygast encounter.

Part 2:

The Verdict:

The best choice depends solely on your preference for either the Alolan Vulpix or Shadow Vulpix encounter, and your desire to focus on catching Ice-type or Fire-type Pokémon during the Holiday Part 1 event. Pokémon GO is available now.
