Pokémon GO Adventure Week Collection Challenges

Pokémon GO's popular Adventure Week event has returned for its 2024 edition. There's a new set of Collection Challenges to complete, Field Research tasks to unlock, and a paid-for set of Timed Research tasks to work through. All of these lead to reward encounters with rare Pokémon like Anorith, Archen, Tirtouga, Tyrunt, and Amaura, so it's worth completing as many as you can.

Adventure Week is a fan-favorite celebration in Pokémon GO, as it features a range of fossil Pokémon that typically can't be caught in the wild. This is a great opportunity not only to fill out your Pokédex, but also to earn enough Candy to evolve the likes of Kabuto and Omanyte. To help you out, you can see details of the event's Collection Challenges and Timed Research tasks below.

Pokémon GO Adventure Week Collection Challenges

Catch & Evolve These Wild Pokémon

There are two Collection Challenges to work through in the Adventure Week event. Each one requires you to obtain five different Pokémon, some by catching them and others by evolving them. You can see details of both Collection Challenges, how to find each featured Pokémon, and the rewards you'll get for completing them in the table below:

Ancient Discoveries Collection Challenge

Pokémon How To Catch It What It Looks Like Kabuto Spawning in the wild Kabutops Evolve a Kabuto with 50 Candy Aerodactyl Spawning in the wild Omanyte Spawning in the wild Omastar Evolve an Omanyte with 50 Candy

When you complete this Collection Challenge, you'll be rewarded with 2500 Stardust, an Anorith encounter, and 25 Mega Aerodactyl Energy.

Aerodactyl is listed as a rare wild spawn for this event, but if you explore enough you should be able to find one. Incense can help here by increasing the amount of Pokémon that spawn in your location. On the other hand, Kabuto and Omanyte are fairly common spawns, so they shouldn't give you too much trouble.

Dig It Collection Challenge

Pokémon How To Catch It What It Looks Like Drilbur Spawning in the wild and appearing as a Field Research reward Excadrill Evolve a Drilbur with 50 Candy Dunsparce Spawning in the wild and appearing as a Field Research reward Diglett Spawning in the wild Dugtrio Evolve a Diglett with 50 Candy

When you complete this Collection Challenge, you'll be rewarded with 2500 Stardust, a Lileep encounter, and 25 Mega Aerodactyl Energy.

For the evolutions in these Collection Challenges, remember to use Pinap Berries when catching their pre-evolutions. This will give you some extra Candy to put towards the evolution cost.

If you're struggling to find any of these Pokémon, you can check the Nearby feature by tapping the Pokémon symbols at the bottom-right-hand corner of the map screen. This will show a range of Pokémon that are currently spawning at nearby locations in the real world. If you spot one you need to catch, head to that location and one should spawn on the map.

Pokémon GO Adventure Week Timed Research Tasks & Rewards

Egg Incubators & Rare Pokémon Encounters

A paid-for set of Timed Research tasks is available to purchase from the in-game shop for $2 / £1.99 or the equivalent price in your local currency. The main rewards on offer here are two Egg Incubators, a Super Incubator, and an Aerodactyl encounter, but there are several other Pokémon reward encounters to discover too, including Archen and Tirtouga.

Whether you're wondering if it's worth purchasing a ticket or you just want to see what Pokémon encounters are available, you can see the full list of Adventure Week Timed Research tasks and rewards in the table below:

Task Reward Explore 2km Tyrunt encounter Explore 2km Amaura encounter Explore 4km Tyrunt encounter Explore 4km Amaura encounter Hatch an Egg Archen encounter Hatch an Egg Tirtouga encounter Hatch 2 Eggs Archen encounter Hatch 2 Eggs Tirtouga encounter Complete 10 Field Research tasks Cranidos Complete 10 Field Research tasks Shieldon

Remember, you've only got until August 12, 2024, to finish this set of Timed Research tasks and Collection Challenges, as that's when the Adventure Week event comes to a close. This is longer than most events in Pokémon GO run for, though, so hopefully you'll be able to complete everything and earn all of those rewards.
