The best path to choose in the Pokemon GO Lovely Wishes Research is the Pokemon Candy Path. This is because it gives the best bonus – 2x Candy for catching Pokemon!
However, the other two paths – Using Daily Adventure Incense and Catching Pokemon – could be better for some players. This all depends on what your goals are in Pokemon GO.
If you want to catch the ultra-rare Galarian versions or Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos, then the Using Daily Adventure Incense Path may prove to be a better choice.
Meanwhile, the Catching Pokemon Path is a good choice if you want to level up in the game, as it’ll help you earn XP twice as fast.
