Be on the lookout for certain Pokemon!
The 2021 Hoenn Celebration Event has officially begun in Pokemon Go!
From January 19 at 10 a.m. local time until January 24 at 8 p.m. local time, Pokemon from the Hoenn region of the Pokemon universe will appear more often in the normal, in Raids, and more! (To see everything happening during this event, check out our previous coverage.)
As part of the Hoenn Celebration Event, players can complete a Hoenn Collection Challenge to receive 5,000 experience points, three Silver Pinap Berries, an Incense, and a point toward their Elite Collector Medal. This Collection Challenge will ask you to collect nine Pokemon before the Hoenn event ends:
Keep in mind, if you already own any of these Pokemon, they won’t count toward this Collection Challenge. Traded Pokemon also won’t count. This means you need to collect “new” Pokemon during this event in order to earn the rewards.
You can keep track of the Pokemon you still need to capture by checking the game’s “Today” menu.
