This Timed Research will keep track of your victories throughout the Season. Each research page will require 100 wins to complete, and doing so will reward you with a small amount of Stardust and items, such as an Elite Fast TM (400 wins) and an Elite Charged TM (500 wins). Keep at it throughout the Season to see how far you can get!
