Pokémon Go Verdant Wonders Collection Challenge and research tasks

Verdant Wonders Collection Challenge Pokémon list in Pokémon Go

The Verdant Wonders Collection Challenge is available in Pokémon until Monday 25th March at 8pm (local time). Completing this challenge will reward you with a selection of rewards and progress for your Elite Collector Medal.

It's important to note that four of the Pokémon in this Collection Challenge must be obtained via evolution. This means that catching them in the wild won't count towards the challenge.

Here are all of the Pokémon in the Verdant Wonders Collection Challenge, along with how to find them:

• Bulbasaur - In the wild or seasonsal field research task (Power up Pokémon 3 times)
• Ivysaur - Evolve Bulbasaur using 25 Bulbasaur Candy
• Oddish - In the wild or seasonal field research task (Take 3 snapshots of different wild Grass-type Pokémon)
• Gloom - Evolve Oddish using 25 Oddish Candy
• Hoppip - In the wild
• Skiploom - Evolve Hoppip using 25 Hoppip Candy
• Shroomish - In the wild
• Breloom - Evolve Shroomish using 50 Shroomish Candy
• Cottonee - In the wild, event-exclusive field research task (Catch 5 Pokémon or Walk 1km) or seasonal field research task (Take a snapshot of a wild Pokémon)
• Whimsicott - Evolve Cottonee using a Sun Stone and 50 Cottonee Candy

For completing this challenge, you'll be rewarded with 5000 XP, 2500 Stardust or Flower Crown Cottonee.

The Max Out Season is here. The new global event, Wild Area, is nearly here and In the Wild is our lead-up event, which includes the global release of Toxel. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

Rogue of the Jungle in Pokémon Go explained

Rogue of the Jungle is a pay-to-play special research quest, which offers Pokémon Go players the chance to catch Zarude for the first time since 2021.

A Rogue of the Jungle ticket costs £7.99, $7.99 or the equivalent price in your local currency. Tickets are nonrefundable and can not be purchased using PokéCoin, but you can gift them to Great Friends or higher.

It's also important to note that these tickets will only be on sale until Monday 25th March at 8pm (local time). If you purchase this quest, make sure you receive it before this deadline too or else you won't be able to play through this quest.
