To celebrate their arrival, you complete the Welcome to Alola Collection Challenge and collect field research tasks. The legendary Tapu Koko is also awaiting you in five-star raids. Don’t forget to complete the A Melemele Adventure special research quest either; it’s the first of four research quests themed around the Alola region and, if you complete them all, you’ll gain free access to an end-of-season quest. On this page: Here are the Pokémon you need to find for the Welcome to Alola Collection Challenge:
Rowlet - In the wild Litten - In the wild Popplio - In the wild Pikipek - In the wild and field research task (Walk 1km) Yungoos - In the wild and field research task (Walk 1km) Gumshoos - Evolve (Yungoos, 50 Yungoos candy and evolved during the day)
Completing this challenge will reward you with 7,000 XP and 15 Ultra Balls.
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
While these tasks can be saved and completed after the event, we recommend completing them during the event, because some of the Pokémon rewards will help you complete the Welcome to Alola Collection Challenge.
Below you can find the Welcome to Alola field research tasks:
Walk 1km reward - Pikipek or Yungoos encounter Catch 7 Pokémon reward - 10 Poké Balls or 10 Great Balls Use 7 Berries to help catch Pokémon reward - 7 Ultra Balls
Thank you to SilphScience from reddit for the help with this information! Some of these Pokémon can be found in the wild, while others can only be obtained once you’ve completed an evolution and two can be battled in raids. Below you can find all of the Gen 7 Pokémon being released during the Welcome to Alola event and how to find them: The shiny forms for Rockruff and Yungoos, along with the ones for their evolutions, have also been released! The A Melemele Adventure special research quest - the first of four special research quests themed around the islands of the Alola region - has been released as part of this event. The other three research quests will also be released as part of an upcoming in-game event and you have until Wednesday, 1st June, the end of the Season of Alola, to collect them all. While none of these quests have a deadline, we recommend completing them before Wednesday, 1st June, because doing so will grant you free access to an end-of-season event. A range of Pokémon are also appearing in raids throughout the Welcome to Alola event, including Bellsprout, Snubbul, Phanpy, Electrike and Rockruff in one-star raids. Meanwhile, in three-star raids, you can find Alolan Raichu, Alolan Graveler, Nidoqueen and Wigglytuff. Finally, Tapu Koko is making its first appearance in five-star raids until Tuesday, 15th March and Mega Venusaur has returned to Mega Raids. Have fun during the Welcome to Alola event and good luck catching the Gen 7 Pokémon!
