Mable's research
During Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the player is asked to assist with Mable's research (Japanese: モミジリサーチ Momiji Research) on the influx of Pokémon into Lumiose City following the urban redevelopment plan. Mable will provide the player with new research tasks as old ones are completed. Completing a research task will earn research points (Japanese: 研究ポイント research point) and increase the player's research level (Japanese: 研究レベル research level).
The player will earn a reward each time they increase their research level, such as a TM, Exp. Candy, or Bottle Cap; at level 49, the player will receive a Master Ball, and at level 50, a Shiny Charm. There are 30 different types of research tasks that can be completed. The Mega Dimension DLC adds two new types of research tasks, alongside four tiers to a prior type.
Research requests and rewards are located in Mable's Research in the main menu. Rewards can also be claimed from the main menu by pressing X.
