So, you got your code for the Great League Greatness Timed Research in Pokemon GO but can't decide which team to choose between Skarmory, Trevenant, and Azumarill? Upon completing all the Pokemon GO tasks in Step 1, you will be prompted to choose one of three branching paths. This primer is designed to help you decide between Skarmory, Trevenant, and Azumarill in the Pokemon GO Great League Greatness Timed Research.

If you pick Skarmory, you will encounter Skarmory, Vigoroth, and Swampert after completing the three Timed Research tasks in Part 2 of the Great League Greatness Timed Research. Additionally, you will receive ten Skarmory, Slakoth, and Mudkip Candy.

Aside from the different encounters and Candy rewards, the tasks and basic rewards for the three Great League Greatness Timed Research paths are identical. So, the only thing that should factor into your decision is the Pokemon and their associated Candy!

In most cases, the Skarmory team is the best of the three teams available to choose from in the Great League Greatness Timed Research. While all three teams feature some of the top-performing Pokemon in the Great League, Skarmory, Vigoroth, and Swampert, especially, are leading the Great League PvP rankings. And even if PvP isn't necessarily your forte, the Skarmory team is still the best path for collectors because Skarmory and Swampert can be Shiny, but none of the other paths offers opportunities to get Shiny Pokemon.

The only real reason to settle for the Trevenant or Azumarill teams is if you haven't already caught one or more of the Pokemon on these teams.

That's all the information we can provide to help you decide which path to choose in the Pokemon GO Great League Greatness Timed Research. For the majority of Trainers, the Skarmory team is the best option, but you can't go wrong with the Trevenant and Azumarill teams either!

You have until August 20, 2023, at 1am BST to redeem your code and polish off the Great League Greatness Timed Research in Pokemon GO.
