How to complete Pokemon Go Legendary Heroes Catch & Trade Collection Challenge

The Pokemon Go Legendary Heroes Collection Challenge comes with two different paths, and this challenge isn’t just catch-based.

Pokemon Go Legendary Heroes‘ content includes the addition of Shiny Zacian, a Timed Research challenge, Field Research, and a Collection Challenge.

This Collection Challenge tasks trainers with catching Pokemon found across Galar. You also have to choose either the Sword or Shield Path, which affects the Pokemon encountered during Legendary Heroes and the Collection Challenges as a whole.

However, this challenge is different compared to others, as it will have a trade-based component to it, as well.

Sword Catch Collection Path

Thanks to Serebii, here’s a look at all the Collection Challenge parts, starting with the Sword Path ones:

Note that several Pokemon here are Incense-triggered Encounters. These Pokemon will be attracted to Incense during Legendary Heroes.
