How the Hoopa s Arrival Collection Challenge works in Poké mon Go The Hoopa's Arrival Collection Challenge, along with the event's other bonuses, will only be available on Sunday, 5th September from 11am to 5pm (local time). 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. As you catch the required Pokémon, they'll be ticked off your Collection Challenge. Remember - you must complete the Hoopa's Arrival Collection by 5pm (local time) or else you won't be able to earn its rewards.
