Thank you to Amiibofan101 from reddit for the help with this information! Like previous Collection Challenges, you need to obtain a specific list of Pokémon through either catching them or another specific method, such as evolution, to complete this challenge. After doing so, you’ll receive the Collection Challenge’s rewards and it will be added to your Elite Collector medal. Collection Challenges are located on the ‘Today View’ screen, which is accessed by pressing the field research button - the little binoculars - in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. You may have to scroll to the left if you’ve previously been looking at the field research or special research screen. When you catch a Pokémon on the Collection Challenge rooster it will be ticked off this list, helping you keep track of which creatures you’re missing. Remember - you must complete the Hoopa’s Arrival Collection by 5pm (local time) or else you won’t be able to earn its rewards. Have fun during Hoopa’s Arrival and completing the next stages of Misunderstood Mischief!
