Everything players must know about the Living Meadow Habitat Collection Challenge

Everything that players need to remember about the challenge is listed below:

Poke ball

Since players will need to catch six Pokemon for this challenge, they will require a minimum of six Poke Balls to complete the task.

Location

Though every Pokemon on the list can be found in the wild, Hoppip and Sunkern can only be found after completing specific research tasks, which are listed below:

  • Hoppip can be encountered by trainers after either taking a snapshot of a wild Pokemon or playing with their Buddy Pokemon
  • Sunkern is found after using five Nanab Berries

Consumable Items

Using items like Lure Modules and Incense in conjunction with one another is a great way to increase the general spawn rate of the area. Pair this with sunny weather and players will complete the challenge in no time.


Players who find every Pokemon on the list will earn 2022 Stardust, two Pinap Berries, and an encounter with Pansage. Additionally, they will also receive another mark on their list of masteries pertaining to Collection Challenges.
