There will be another Collection Challenge

The Unova event introduced the first Collection Challenge, where you have to catch certain species of Pokémon in exchange for rewards. It looks like there’s going to be another one for the Pokémon GO Sinnoh event. This will require you to catch Sinnoh Pokémon. If you complete the challenge, you will also get progress towards a collection medal.

Be sure to stay tuned for more Pokémon GO news and events, and make sure not to miss out on the event. If you need any of the Unova Pokémon, be sure to get out there before the event ends!
