The decision comes down to choosing between Blanche or Cliff. The paths come with slightly different rewards, but you won’t feel like you’re missing out on something crucial if you go with a particular choice. Still, it’s a good idea to know all the rewards you’ll receive for following a specific path, and you might prefer one over the other. We’ll be breaking down how to complete the Steeled Resolve Timed Research in Pokémon Go, and all tasks and rewards you’ll get for it.

The Steeled Resolve Timed Research is a free ticket available to all Pokémon Go players. It comes with three tasks, with the first available to all. After that, you must pick between siding with Blanche or Cliff. Most of the rewards for both paths are the same, but in the third task, you receive a Steelix encounter if you side with Blanche or a Marowak encounter if you side with Cliff. We recommend Blanche between the two, but the choice is entirely up to you.

You have until the end of the Steeled Resolve event to complete all tasks. The event starts on Jan. 21 and ends on Jan. 26, giving you less than a week to complete everything. It shouldn’t be too difficult as many tasks are relatively straightforward. For those trying to track down Rookidee and evolve it into Corviknight, you should participate in this Timed Research as it offers a free Magnetic Lure, regardless of your chosen path.

These are all the tasks and rewards you get for completing the Steeled Resolve Timed Research in Pokémon Go.
