NianticThe Pokemon Go Astral Eclipse event has brought two Collection Challenges into the game: the Sun Challenge and the Moon Challenge. Here’s how to complete them both and get the rewards on offer.

Below, you’ll find tips on how to catch all the Pokemon you need to complete these two Collection Challenges.
