In Pokémon Go, the Candela or Arlo “Choose a Path”
Pokémon GO “Beloved Buddies” Timed Research Highlights
Which Path Should You Choose?
- Candela: Focused on PvP with a Great League-relevant Dunsparce and Poffins for buddy affection. Tasks include making a new friend and trading Pokémon, which may be harder for solo players.
- Arlo: More PvE-oriented with a Rocket Radar, Cubone (Great League Marowak), and Scizor (can Mega Evolve into a strong Bug-type attacker). Perfect for Team GO Rocket battles.

Arlo’s path is easier if you want to avoid social tasks.
