All Lucky Wishes tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

All players will go through the same first task in the Lucky Wishes Timed Research. However, there is going to be a choice you need to make after completing this, and it will determine the reward you will earn. The reward is not linked with the activities you need to complete, so regardless of which you pick, the activities and rewards for those tasks will not differ. It’s only going to change the final rewards.
