  • Stage (2/2)

Which path is correct in Pokemon Go Detective Pikachu Returns: Snivy, Rowlet or Sudowoodo?

The correct path to choose in the Pokemon Go Detective Pikachu Returns event is Sudowoodo. Here’s the clue for the correct ‘Pokemon of interest’ given by Professor Willow in the game:

“This Pokemon is known for its green accents, but it’s a type of Pokemon that hasn’t been appearing around here recently. It also peddles in deception. You might say it’s not what it seems!”

The mention of “deception” is a hint at Sudowoodo as this Pokemon deceives trainers by posing as a tree and is clearly “not what it seems.” Picking the Sudowoodo path guarantees a better reward than the other two paths.
