The Johto Celebration event means that Pokemon in the Johto region increase their spawn rates. So Pokemon like Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Hoppip, Miltank (which will be made available as a Shiny variant for the first time), and other Pokemon will frequently appear more than usual.
What Is The Johto Challenge?
Pokemon Go releases Collection Challenges paired with in-game events. Collection Challenges make certain Pokemon appear more frequently in the wild. Players will have to catch all the Pokemon in the Collection Challenges to get the rewards. The rewards are usually a number of items and progress your Elite Collector medal. For January 2021, it is the Johto Collection Challenge for the Johto Celebration in-game event.
How To Access The Collection Challenge
To access the Collection Challenge you have to go to “Today’s View”. Just press the Field Research button as represented by the little binoculars in the lower right corner of your screen. Scroll to your left if you have been looking at your current Field or Special Research tasks. Otherwise, the “Today’s View” should have appeared right off the bat. You will find here the list of Pokemon you have to catch to complete the Collection Challenge. Catching a Pokemon on the list will remove it off the Collection Challenge roster. You must complete the Collection Challenge before the in-game event ends or you will miss the rewards forever.
