Want to know if you should choose the Dark Path or the Fire Path in Pokemon Go? Pokemon Go often holds various events during which you can encounter rare Pokemon and have the chance to earn incredible rewards. For example, the game is hosting a Dark Flames event, during which you might encounter Fire and Dark-type Pokemon. However, once you start Dark Flames Timed Research, you have to choose which type of Pokemon you want. So, read on to learn if you should choose Fire or Dark-type in Pokemon Go.

The new Dark Flames event is taking place in Pokemon Go from June 29 to July 2, 2023. During it, you have a chance to catch a lot of Dark and Fire-type Pokemon, as their spawn rate is increased. But one of the most interesting parts of the event is Dark Flames Timed Research.

This Research is available to all players during the event. However, it differs from most, because after completing the tasks of the first page, you will be given a choice of two Paths, namely Fire or Dark. It is a very important choice, as your further Research tasks and encounters depend on it.

Dark Flames Timed Research – Fire Path

By choosing the Fire Path, you have to complete tasks related to Fire-type Pokemon. In other words, you’ll need to catch, Power up, Purify, Evolve, and even do Snapshots of Fire-type Pokemon. Also using Incense you will be able to attract Fire-types. The same applies to the rewards that you will receive for tasks:

  • Slugma encounter
  • Alolan Marowak encounter
  • Darumaka encounter

Dark Flames Timed Research – Dark Path

By choosing the Dark Path, your tasks will be the same, but with Dark-type Pokemon. So if you have a lot of Pokemon of this type, you can use the event to upgrade them and create a stronger team. It is also worth noting that for the completing Research tasks, your encounters will be different:

  • Carvanha encounter
  • Sneasel encounter
  • Scraggy encounter

As you can see, Fire and Dark Paths are both good. No matter what you choose, you will get great rewards. Therefore, we recommend you choose a Path based on your favorite Pokemon type.

That’s all you need to know about choosing between Fire or Dark-type Path in Pokemon Go. You should hurry as the event only lasts for a few days and the rewards are very good. In the meantime, take a look at our guide on how to catch Shiny Fomantis.

Pokemon Goย is available onย iOS and Android.
