The Solstice Horizons Event will last from Friday, June 16 at 10AM Local Time, and end Sunday, June 25 at 10PM Local Time.
How To Access the Solstice Horizons Collection Challenge in Pokemon GO
The Collection Challenge menu can be accessed by clicking on the binoculars at the bottom-right of the screen. Click this icon and scroll down past the Hidden Gems Task list to see the Collection Challenge menu for both Challenges, which will tell the player which Pokemon to catch.
How To Complete Daytime Solstice Horizons Collection Challenge in Pokemon GO
This Collection Challenge focuses on Pokemon that can only be accessed in the daytime. In the case of Pokemon GO, daytime means roughly from 8AM Local Time to 8PM local time. During this time, players can expect to see an increase in spawns of the Pokemon required to complete the Collection Challenge. Here are the tasks players must complete to complete the challenge:
- Catch a Solrock
- Catch a Ledyba
- Catch a Petilil
- Catch a Purrloin
- Catch a Drifloon
- Catch a Sewaddle
- Catch a Cottonee
- Catch a Murkrow
Total reward: 2,000 Stardust, a Fomantis encounter, and a Daytime Solstice Horizons Collection Challenge Medal.
How To Complete Nighttime Solstice Horizons Collection Challenge in Pokemon GO
This version of the Solstice Horizons Collection Challenge focuses on night spawns - 8PM Local Time to 8AM Local Time. The following Pokemon will see an increase in spawns during this time. In order to complete the challenge, players must:
- Catch a Lunatone
- Catch a Spinarak
- Catch an Oddish
- Catch a Stunky
- Catch a Misdreavus
- Catch a Venipede
- Catch a Foongus
- Catch a Phantump
Total reward: 2,000 Stardust, a Fomantis encounter, and a Nighttime Solstice Horizons Collection Challenge Medal.
The focus on Fomantis in both Collection Challenge rewards is likely due to Fomantis recently being made available in Shiny Form. Lucky players may encounter Shiny Fomantis in these rewards, but if not, there is an increase in Fomantis spawns in line with the event that will also increase the chances of finding a Shiny.
Pokemon GO is available for free on mobile devices.
