The Season of Go has arrived! The Pokémon TCG Crossover event is here, which includes the release of Wimpod and Golisopod. While Go Fest 2022 may be behind us, there are still three special research quests you might be working on - Pokémon Go Fest 2022, Rhi's Arrival and A Radiant World. Meanwhile, the Great League and Great League and Great League Remix are currently running in the Go Battle League Season 11.

How the Día de Muertos Collection Challenge works in Pokémon Go

The Día de Muertos Collection Challenge, along with the event's other bonuses, will only be available between Monday, 1st November to Tuesday, 2nd November at 8pm (local time).

Just like every other Collection Challenge, you need to obtain a specific list of Pokémon through either catching them in the wild or another method, such as evolution or raids. Once the Collection Challenge is completed, you'll receive its reward and it will be added to your Elite Collector medal.

Collection Challenges can be found in the 'Today View' screen, which is accessed by pressing the field research button - the little binoculars - in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. You may have to scroll to the left if you've been looking at the field or special research screens.

When you catch a Pokémon on the Collection Challenge rooster it will be ticked off this list, helping you keep track of which ones you're missing.

Don't forget - you only have until 8pm (local time) on Tuesday, 2nd November to complete the Día de Muertos Collection Challenge.

Hope you enjoy the Día de Muertos event!
