- Before entering a raid battle, remember to plan your Pokémon team to include creatures that can oppose the raid boss and exploit your weakness.

How the Raid Collection Challenge works on Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go Collection Challenges were launched in January 2021 and run alongside certain game events. In each Collection Challenge, you will catch several Pokémon that, thanks to the event, are appearing more frequently in the jungle or are obtained by completing a certain feature of the game – in this case, raids.
After completing the Collection Challenge by capturing or obtaining each Pokémon, you will be rewarded with a series of items and progress towards your Elite Collector medal.
The Raid Collection Challenge is part of the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event and is only available until Sunday, February 28 at 7:59 pm (local time).
The Challenges of the collection can be found in the ‘Today View’, which can be accessed by pressing the field search button (the small binoculars) in the lower right corner of the screen. Depending on whether you are looking at your current field or special research tasks, you may have to scroll to the left.
After accessing the ‘Today View’, you will find a list of the Pokémon you need to capture to complete the Collection Challenge. Catching a Pokémon on the Collection Challenge cock will mark it off the list to help you track which Pokémon you still need to obtain.
It is important to note that only Pokémon obtained through raids will count towards this Collection Challenge; which means that any Pokémon captured in the wild, marketed, Shadow Pokémon or those hatched from eggs will all be exempt.
Remember – the Raid Collection Challenge must be completed before 9 pm (local time) on Saturday, February 20, or you will never be able to add it to your Elite Collector badge.
Good luck completing this Collection Challenge!
