Unova Collection Challenge Tasks and Rewards
The Unova Collection Challenge is the first of its kind, bringing us something new to do in 2021. Previous special timed searches have just allowed you to complete many tasks associated with the event, such as catching a certain number of items. a specific type of Pokémon. The Unova collection challenge seems to be a little different, however, as instead the rules state that you must “Collect all of these Pokémon before the time runs out to add them to your Elite Collector Medal!”
This Fundraising Challenge begins Tuesday, January 5 at 10 a.m. local time and runs until Sunday, January 10 at 20 p.m. local time.
The following Pokémon are the ones you need to catch for the Unova Collection Challenge.
Pokémon Collect
- Snivy
- Tepig
- Oshawott
- Lillipup
- Herdier
- Blitz
- Rye rola
- Solosis
- Ferroseed
Rewards - 3000 Stardust, 30 Poke Balls, 5 Rare Candies
As you'll notice from this list, all but one Pokémon are at their base evolution. The only outlier here is Herdier, which evolves from Lillipup. From early reports, it looks like you'll literally have to catch each of these Pokémon yourself via Poke Ball. Hatching eggs or trading won't give you the check mark to show you caught it. Evolving Lillipup to Herdier will also not give you a checkmark for Herdier. However, it looks like getting these Pokémon from a research task will work, as you'll have the option to catch them as a result.
There doesn't appear to be a paid version of the Unova Collection Challenge on top of that, so all you need to do is focus on catching these Pokémon over the next week to unlock the rewards listed below. on it and you will have completed the very first Pokémon Go collection challenge.
