Paldea Research

Path of Nostalgia or Path of Anticipation

Prof. Sada and Prof. Turo visited Emera Town on 30th August 2023 to invitate everyone to a journey through time.

In this quest the Professors need your help to study Pokémon, so Shiny hunting is a distraction and as the quest has no time-limit, just finish the current hunt before starting to help them with the research.

First you need to choose which path you would like to explore frist. Help Prof. Seda on the Path of Nostalgia or Prof. Turo on the Path of Anticipation.
After a path is chosen it can not be change until the research is finished.

Note: The legendary Pokémon you might obtain in this quest can only be traded with trainers who also own their EggDex entries.

The quest revolves around hatching and evolving eggs from the Lab:

• Hatch Rarity Eggs from Prof. Rowan's Lab.
  
• Hatch specific-type Eggs from Prof. Rowan's Lab.
  
• Hatch any Eggs from Prof. Rowan's Lab.
  
• Hatch Cyclizar Eggs from Prof. Rowan's Lab.
  

• Evolve originally adopted from Prof. Rowan's Lab via items.
  
• Evolve originally adopted from Prof. Rowan's Lab via Level-Up.
  
• Evolve Pokémon of the specific-Rarity originally adopted from Prof. Rowan's Lab via Level-Up.
  
• Evolve specific-type Pokémon originally adopted from Prof. Rowan's Lab via Level-Up.

• The Research Tasks were similar to the onces before - see list above.
• Require Trainerlevel: 35 or higher.
• The Paradox rewards had a 10% chance to be shiny.
