Verdict: Why you should choose the Yellow path in the Pokemon GO Festival of Colors India Timed Research

The reward encounters in the Yellow path are Pawmi, Joltik, and Helioptile. Of these, the first and the last ones are among the rarest encounters among the ones on offer in the other paths. The rarity makes it worth venturing on this path to claim the associated rewards.

Joltik and Helioptile's evolved forms — Galvantula and Heliolisk — also have some utility in GO Battle League. Heliolisk and Pawmot — the final form of Pawmi — also feature unique typings not possessed by any other creatures in the game. This adds to their collection value.

Overall, I think the Yellow path in the Pokemon GO Festival of Colors India Timed Research gives you the best value for the time spent in completing the tasks.
