Pokémon Go Team Building quest steps, choose a path Galarian Stunfisk, Drapion, Jellicent differences

How the branching World Championships-themed quest works.

The Team Building quest in Pokémon Go is research released alongside the Pokémon World Championships in August 2022.

Available as part of a Twitch code giveaway throughout the event, the short Pokémon Go quest is designed to help you build out a strong Great League team.

Part of that is a branching path - having you choose between Galarian Stunfisk, Drapion and Jellicent in Pokémon Go.

Once you begin, the Team Building research is available until Wednesday, 31st August at midnight local time.

Choose a Path Galarian Stunfisk, Drapion and Jellicent choice differences

Upon completing this step, you’ll be asked to choose between the three paths - Galarian Stunfisk, Drapion and Jellicent.

Though the quest steps from here are the same, the rewards differ - giving you a different Great League team to take away:

  • Galarian Stunfisk choice: Ariados, Pelipper, Galarian Stunfisk
  • Drapion choice: Skarmory, Swampert, Drapion
  • Jellicent choice: Venusaur, Jellicent, Talonflame

This changes the encounter and Candy rewards in the second step.
