To complete the Festival of Colors Collection Challenge in Pokemon GO, you must obtain all of the following Pokemon before the event ends at 10 PM local time on March 14, 2023:
- Koffing
- Stunky
- Wobbuffet
- Natu
- Shuckle
- Paras
- Krabby
- Bruxish
- Burmy (Plant)
- Burmy (Sandy)
- Burmy (Trash)
- Mothim
Luckily, all but one of these Pokemon will be spawning in the wild during the 2023 Festival of Colors, making most of them easy to catch.
Meanwhile, the brand-new Pokemon Bruxish will also be one of the Festival of Colors Raid bosses, and you can get all three types of Burmy from the new Field Research Tasks.
However, getting Mothim can be a bit more tricky as the only way to get a Mothim is by evolving a specific Pokemon.
Refer to the table below to find out how to get each of the Pokemon required to complete the Festival of Colors 2023 Collection Challenge.
