The Association and Deep Research
Raids pay research. Deep Research is one Pokémon, den after den, for as long as you dare.
Getting in
Clear Raid dens for Research Material and hand in 75 at /research. That opens Deep Research and the shelf.
Deep Research
A run is one Pokémon, with no healing items, through den after den. Each win heals it and pays research, and you choose: go deeper, or end the run and keep everything.
| Den | Stars | Research |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2★ | 10 |
| 2 | 3★ | 20 |
| 3 | 4★ | 40 |
| 4 | 5★ | 80 |
| 5 | 6★ | 160 |
| 6 | 7★ | 320 |
| 7+ | 7★ | 320 |
Lose a den and you keep half of the run. From the seventh den every den is a seven-star legendary, pays the same, and heals you a little less each time. A run has no last den.
A run costs 50 research to start. Your first of the season is free.
