Timed Research[]

Steeled Resolve Timed Research was available during the event:
The following choices were available for this part:

- We’ve got a fresh lead, TRAINER!
- The latest intel suggests that Cliff has been training like there’s no tomorrow, and supposedly he’s got a new strategy: all-out attack.
- Meanwhile, Blanche has had a research breakthrough and wants to cultivate the abilities of Pokémon with potent defense.
- Attack and defense, opposite but complementary—just like last time. I bet we can learn more about this duality if we dig in a bit.
- On that note, let’s hear it—which of their strategies do you want to investigate further?

- Greetings, TRAINER. Your assistance will be most welcome.
- My research has led me to one conclusion: obvious though it may seem, the surest way to win a battle is to never lose it.
- In other words, if your Pokémon never faints, victory is the only possible outcome.
- Lapras and I have begun testing several methodologies that maximize its defense potential. Would you and your Pokémon partners like to join us?

- Hey, watch where you’re standing! I’m training here!
- The full-power attacks I’m working on will make Team GO Rocket unstoppable. What with that look? Don’t believe it?
- It’s easy. You get your Pokémon to hit so hard that their opponents never even get a CHANCE to hit back!
- Hmph, not that it matters for you. I doubt a weakling like you could ever get your Pokémon to pull an attack like that off.
- And that means if you’re hanging around here, you’re holding me back. So beat it!

- Congratulations on a job well done.
- My analysis of recent battles has disproven my previous theory—though the fault does not lie with you.
- I had Lapras so focused on defense that I neglected to give it opportunities to attack.
- I fear I’ve stymied its growth. The logical next step is to provide Berries, praise, and—critically—a more well-rounded training regimen.
- Further work can wait until after we rest, though. TRAINER, if you’ve taught me anything today, it’s the importance of a balanced approach.

- Hrm. Strength reigns supreme, but something’s still missing!
- The problem with only focusing on attacks is that it makes you let your guard down.
- Maybe the boss would prefer it if I used offense AND defense...
- This won’t stop me, though! I’ll master the power of balance for Team GO Rocket, no matter what it takes!
