This Timed Research will keep track of your victories throughout the Season. Each research page will require 100 wins to complete, and doing so will award Stardust and items such as Rare Candy XL, an Elite Fast TM (at 400 wins), and an Elite Charged TM (at 500 wins). Keep at it throughout the Season to see how far you can get!

Avatar items and other rewards

Trainers will be able to earn the following avatar items, which are all inspired by Lana, the Trial Captain of Akala Island’s Brooklet Hill, from the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon video games!
