Collection Challenge

Collection Challenge is a game feature which requires Trainer to acquire all the listed Pokémon during certain events. Completing Collection Challenges will award different rewards and increase the total in the Elite Collector Medal. To date, there has been the following total of Collection Challenges:

224

The progress of Collection Challenge is visible in Today View, where the caught Pokémon is ticked. Unless otherwise specified, only catching Pokémon will count. Other requirements, such as evolution or trading, will be specifically denoted as such if that requirement is needed. Not all required Pokémon will have an increased spawn rate in wild. Some are Research tasks or Raid Battle-exclusive. For details, see the corresponding event page. The following icons are used to identify the Pokémon acquirement method:

	Pokémon should be acquired by trading
	Pokémon should be acquired by evolution
	Pokémon should be acquired by hatching
	Pokémon should be acquired in the costumed form
	Pokémon should be acquired in the Shadow form

Trivia

• The total number of Collection Challenge distributions is 3 more than the amount able to be registered due to a branched choice in the Dark Flames and the Legendary Heroes events. Additionally, the number of those with unique Collection Challenges is 4 less for both totals—each of the four Hoenn Tour – Las Vegas challenges were able to be repeated one time.
• 58 Collection Challenges were region-exclusive. They included 57 from in person events (i.e. city/island-specific ones) and 1 from a larger nation-wide event in India.
