The Evolving Stars event has arrived in Pokemon Go and there are four evolution-themed Collection Challenges to complete: Eevee, Trade, Unova, and Sinnoh.
Pokemon Go players have got plenty to do during the Evolving Stars event, whether that’s completing the Cosmic Companion Special Research story, finally evolving Cosmog into Cosmoem, or battling the new Raid Bosses.
There are also four Collection Challenges to complete before the event is over. The first is based on Eevee evolutions, the second on trade evolutions, the third on Unova creatures, and the final one on Sinnoh creatures.

All of the Pokemon that you’ll need to evolve to complete these four Collection Challenges can be caught in the wild during the Evolving Stars event, so completing them shouldn’t be too difficult.
If you’re struggling to find a specific Pokemon, remember that you can use any Incense or Lure Modules you have to increase wild spawns. The ‘nearby’ feature will also help you locate Pokemon close to you.
It’s always a good idea to use Pinap Berries when catching these Pokemon, as you’ll get extra Candy and be able to evolve them sooner. You could also set them as your Buddy and walk with them to get Candy.
The Evolving Stars event ends on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at 8 PM local time, so you’ve got just under a week to complete all of these Collection Challenges!
