Pokemon GO Inner Focus & Vital Spirit Collection Challenges explained
If you're wondering how to complete the Inner Focus and Vital Spirit Collection Challenges in Pokemon GO, we've got all the information you need right here.
The Raging Battles event has begun in Pokemon GO, and alongside themed wild spawns and the debut of Annihilape, there are two Collection Challenges for you to take on.
Collection Challenges are limited-time quests that require you to catch or evolve a certain set of Pokemon. You'll usually get a decent set of rewards for finishing them, so it's always worth doing them where possible!
How to complete Inner Focus Collection Challenge
Here are the Pokemon you need to catch or evolve to complete the Inner Focus Collection Challenge:
Pokemon | How to get them | What they look like |
Mankey | Spawning in the wild and appearing as a Field Research reward | |
Primeape | Evolve a Mankey with 50 Candy | |
Scraggy | Spawning in the wild | |
Lickitung | Spawning in the wild | |
Throh | Spawning in the wild |
Completion rewards: 3 Charged TMs and 3000 Stardust
How to complete Vital Spirit Collection Challenge
Here are the Pokemon you need to catch or evolve to complete the Vital Spirit Collection Challenge:
Pokemon | How to get them | What they look like |
Mankey | Spawning in the wild and appearing as a Field Research reward | |
Primeape | Evolve a Mankey with 50 Candy | |
Sableye | Spawning in the wild | |
Gligar | Spawning in the wild | |
Sawk | Spawning in the wild |
Completion rewards: 3 Fast TMs and 3000 Stardust
One good thing about these Collection Challenges is that they run alongside each other, so catching a Mankey and evolving it into Primeape will tick off two Pokemon on both challenges simultaneously.
As for Throh and Sawk, these regional exclusives will be spawning in the wild regardless of your location during the Raging Battles event, so you shouldn't have any trouble obtaining them.
Pokemon GO Raging Battles Field Research tasks
The Raging Battles event also comes with a set of exclusive Field Research tasks which you can see below:
Task | Reward |
Catch 3 Fighting-type Pokemon | 5 Revives or 5 Hyper Potions |
Power up Pokemon 5 times | Mankey encounter |
Win 2 Raids | 3000 Stardust |
Defeat 2 Team GO Rocket Grunts | 1 Mysterious Component |
Shoutout to LeekDuck for help with this information!
You can get these tasks by spinning PokeStops during the Raging Battles event, which runs from January 19 to January 24, 2024. If you don't get the task you want, simply delete it and spin another PokeStop.
