Here are the Pokémon you’ll need to catch to finish the challenge.

  • Capture a Snivy
  • Capture an Oshawott
  • Capture a Tepig
  • Capture a Lillipup
  • Capture a Herdier
  • Capture a Roggenrola
  • Capture a Solosis
  • Capture a Ferroseed
  • Capture a Blitzle

Upon completion, you’ll be rewarded with 3,000 Stardust, 30 Poké Balls, and five Rare Candies.

Most of the Pokémon on the list should a breeze to catch. Aside from Roggenrola, who’s hatching from five-kilometer eggs, the Unovan natives will be experiencing increased drop rates from Jan. 5 at 10am to Jan. 10 at 8pm local time. Plus, look out for a shiny Snivy to add more glitter to your collection.

The challenge will only activate during the official event timings, so catching one of these creatures too early or too late won’t be counted.
