Should You Choose Spark or Sierra in the Pokemon GO Holiday Part 1 Research?

In Pokémon GO's Holiday Part 1 branching research, trainers face a crucial decision: aid Spark or Sierra. While official announcements omitted details on this free research (available December 17th-22nd, 9:59 AM local time), the choice impacts your Pokémon catching focus and reward encounters.

Choosing Your Path: Spark vs. Sierra

The core difference lies in the Pokémon types: Ice (Spark) or Fire (Sierra). The final reward (Sandygast) remains consistent, but the intermediate reward and task types differ significantly.

Spark's Ice-Type Focus:
