Tips for the Defeat All Challengers research quest in Pokémon Go
With only a day to complete the Defeat All Challengers quest before the Kanto Tour event ends, you have to act fast. Here's some tips on what to look out for along the way:
- Go Tour Challengers replace Go Team Rocket during the event, and can be found by interacting with PokeStops.
- For the first two steps, note you only need to battle and not defeat the Go Tour Challengers to complete those specific quest requirements. This is useful if you are against the clock and want to speed through the research.
- For the 'Defeat 3 Go Tour Challengers with your buddy' step, you should only need to have it in your party, and not have to use them to win battles with them specifically, to progress this step.
- Snorlax and Lapras are rarer spawns during the event, making completing the questline worth it if you're struggling to find those creatures.
- If you only have a little time, it's well worth at least completing the first step, which will see you get an Eevee encounter for the two Tour Challengers battles, and 20 Eevee candy - which is useful for the many evolutions required in Collection Challenges elsewhere.
Remember, if you don't complete this quest in time, it's not the end of the world - there are no exclusive rewards or badges for doing so. Best of luck!
