Similar to other Premium tickets and special research tasks in Pokémon Go, the tasks in these event should be things you can while the event is active. This includes tracking down Ice or Fire-type Pokémon, collecting MP from Power Spots, or powering up particular Pokémon. You’ll also earn rewards for every task you complete, alongside the chance to choose what path you want to follow. Here’s what you need to know about all Holiday Part One Shore Thing tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go.

You can purchase the Holiday Part One Shore Thing paid timed research in the Pokémon Go in-game store for $2.00 or the equivalent in your local currency. After you buy it, you can begin working on the first tasks for the ticket. After you complete the initial tasks, you’ll be presented with a branching path to choose if you want to align with Spark or Sierra. Spark will have you focusing on catching and powering up Ice-type Pokémon, while Sierra wants to focus on Fire-type Pokémon.

The only reward difference between these two paths is Sierra’s Vulpix encounter and Spark’s Alolan Vulpix encounter. A majority of the items you get for completing this research ticket remain the same, and you won’t have to worry too much if you chose correctly, or not. While you’re working on these tasks, expect to also focus on the Holiday Part One Collection Challenges, which are also available as a part of the Dual Destiny season.
