Complete the Pokemon Go Legendary Heroes Catch & Trade Collection Challenge Guide

The Pokémon Go Legendary Heroes Collection Challenge features two unique paths, and it’s more than just catching Pokémon.

With the Pokémon Go Legendary Heroes update, players can enjoy the introduction of Shiny Zacian, in addition to a Timed Research challenge, Field Research, and a Collection Challenge.

This Collection Challenge requires trainers to catch Pokémon originating from the Galar region and involves two distinct paths, distinctly named after the console games associated with that region. Unlike previous challenges, this one includes a trade-based element as well.

Sword Catch Collection Path

According to Serebii, here’s a breakdown of the Collection Challenge components, starting with the Sword path:

Pokémon	Sprite	How to Obtain
Galarian Darumaka	In the wild
Swirlix	In the wild (Incense)
Gothita	In the wild (Incense)
Seedot	In the wild (Incense)
Scraggy	In the wild (Incense)
Grookey	In the wild
Scorbunny	In the wild
Sobble	In the wild

Note that several Pokémon listed above can be obtained through Incense-triggered encounters. These Pokémon will appear in the wild when Incense is used during the Legendary Heroes event.

Sword Trade Collection Path

The four Pokémon listed above belong to the Shield Path. Therefore, trades with trainers who have chosen the Shield Path will be necessary to complete this section.
