This means there is no easier path through this questline and your decision should be focused around which rewards you'll receive. For stage two of this quest, the reward difference comes down to whether you want to receive Razz Berries for choosing 'Bidoof…?' or Pinap Berries for selecting 'Choose Bidoof!' You will be rewarded with more Razz Berries, but, ultimately, there is no true best choice here. There is, however, a better option between 'Nerves of steel' and 'Nests near water.' While 'Nerves of steel' will give you 10 Super Potions for transferring 10 Pokémon, 'Nests near water' will give you 10 PokéBalls for completing this challenge. These extra PokéBalls will be incredibly useful in completing the final challenge for stage three - 'Catch 10 Bidoof' - and the entirety of stage four, which involves catching 15 Bidoof. Currently live is the Evolving Stars event, which includes the release of quest steps 5 to 8 of A Cosmic Companion - the Season of Light special research quest.
