What Are Collection Challenges?
Collection Challenges are a new form of activity that will come along with events from now on in Pokémon Go.
The idea is that they will ask trainers to catch a selection of featured Pokémon in order to earn a reward.
All players will be given the same list and will earn the same completion rewards for doing so!
Additionally, trainers will have to catch the Pokémon even if they are already in their Pokédex.
Though at least so far, the challenge versus the reward seems decent! So it’ll be more than worth it to waste Pokéballs and more common ‘mons.

How Do They Work?
At the time of writing, it appears that Collection Challenges in Pokémon Go will require trainers to catch every Pokémon in the list.
Unfortunately, it appears that evolving does not count - we caught and evolved a Lillipup and the Herdier in our list was not checked off.
We also can’t say for sure if Egg Hatches count either, but we’ll update this page if we find out!
