Pokémon Go has been readying its new collection challenge gameplay for some time – and today we got a first look at how it’ll work.
This new type of challenge will provide a literal checklist of Pokémon species to snag within a limited event window, with some more difficult to find than others.
Collection challenges will live within Pokémon Go’s Today screen, designating them as Timed Research. There will also be a new profile medal – Elite Collector – for completing various ones.
The first collection challenge is due to go live for everyone tomorrow, 5th January, at the beginning of the game’s upcoming Unova event. Certain players got an early look at it today as part of a test/mistake by developer Niantic, and here’s how it’ll work.
