The Pokemon Go Mythic Blade event has arrived, bringing with it a new Collection Challenge and a bunch of Field Research tasks and rewards to unlock.

Collection Challenges are special challenges that require players to catch a series of Pokemon before time runs out. In the case of the Mythic Blade Collection Challenge, you’ll be looking for Fighting-types.

Some of these Pokemon can be found in the wild, while others need to be evolved, and one of them can only be obtained by completing Field Research tasks.

Pokemon Go Mythic Blade Field Research tasks & rewards

The following Field Research tasks will be available during the Mythic Blade event:

  • Catch 7 Fighting-type Pokemon – Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, or Hitmontop encounter
  • Catch 15 Fighting-type Pokemon – Galarian Farfetch’d encounter
  • Power up Pokemon 15 times – Galarian Farfetch’d encounter

You can get these Field Research tasks by spinning PokeStops, but they’ll be given out at random so you can’t guarantee which one you’ll get.

The Mythic Blade event ends on December 11, 2022, at 8PM local time, so you’ve got just five days to complete the Collection Challenge and Field Research tasks.
