How to complete Pokemon Go Legendary Heroes Catch & Trade Collection Challenge
The Pokemon CompanyThe 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 will task trainers to catch Pokemon found across Galar and include two distinct paths, each named after the console games that featured the aforementioned region. However, this challenge is different compared to others, as it will have a trade-based component to it, as well.
