Mable's Research in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Mable's Research requests in Pokémon Legends: Z-A are special tasks that players can complete to earn rewards. The tasks are mainly focused on collection and Pokédex completion, such as catching many Pokémon of each type and registering available Pokémon in each Wild Zone.
Each task yields a certain amount of points, which increase your Research Level. The majority of rewards are TMs, but the higher levels reward significant items such as a Gold Bottle Cap, Master Ball and Shiny Charm.
