How to Complete the Collection Challenge During Spring into Spring 2023

To complete the Spring into Spring collection challenge, players must catch the following Pokemon:

  • Whismur
  • Bunnelby
  • Flower Crown Buneary
  • Marill
  • Cherry Blossom Eevee
  • Cherry Blossom Pikachu
  • Cutiefly

Gamers must also evolve Cutiefly into Ribombee, Bunnelby into Diggersby, and Buneary into Lopunny.

It's also worth noting that Cutiefly can hatch from 2 km Eggs and also appears in 1-Star Raids.

Once all Pokemon are in the inventory, go to a PokeStop, mark the task as complete, and reap the rewards.

All Pokemon on the list actually have increased spawns during the Spring into Spring event, so they should be fairly easy to find in the wild. The Pikachu and Eevee line will be adorned with cherry blossoms, and there's a chance for Buneary to have the flower crown.

The harder part of the challenge are the three evolutions.

  • To evolve Cutiefly into Ribombee, players will need to gather 50 Cutiefly Candy and then head to the Cutiefly's profile to activate the process. Using Pinap berries during Pokemon encounters can help players accrue bonus Candy, making the evolution process a little simpler.
  • To evolve Bunnelby into Diggersby, players will need 50 Bunnelby Candy.
  • And last but not least, to evolve Buneary into Lopunny, players will also need 50 Buneary Candy.

Can Cutiefly be Shiny?
