During the event, players will encounter a handful of new Pokémon from generation seven in the wild for the first time at an increased spawn rate as they become wildly available in Pokémon Go

The initial roster of Alolan Pokémon includes Rowlet, Litten, Popplio, Pikipek, and Yungoos spawning in the wild, Rockruff and Jangmo-o hatching from Eggs, and Tapu Koko appearing in five-star raids. Some Pokémon with Alolan regional variants like Alolan Raichu and Alolan Rattata will also be showing up in raids and as research rewards. 

And speaking of research, there is new Special Research called “A Melemele Adventure” to complete, along with a special Alola-themed Collection Challenge.

Just like with previous Collection Challenges, your only goal is to capture every Pokémon on the list to claim some rewards. With that in mind, here is everything you need to know in order to complete the Welcome to Alola Collection Challenge.
