The Pokemon Go Sustainability Week Collection Challenge is a new quest for players to complete alongside event-exclusive Field Research tasks.

Niantic are celebrating Sustainability Week in 2022 with a special event that features the debut of Alola’s Oranguru, loads of jungle-themed wild spawns, and an environment-focused Timed Research day.

There’s also a new Collection Challenge and event-exclusive Field Research tasks to complete, with some great rewards on offer along the way – you can find out everything you need to know about those below.

Two of the Pokemon you need to catch for the Sustainability Week Collection Challenge, Gloom and Weepinbell, can only be encountered after placing a Mossy Lure Module at a nearby PokeStop.

Don’t worry if you haven’t got a spare Mossy Lure Module in your items list, as there will be an event box in the in-game Shop that features one – and the best news is that it’s completely free to claim!
