Hoenn's Return Challenge in Pokémon GO: date, quests and rewards

Third-generation Pokémon (Hoenn) star in Pokémon GO's third Return Challenge 2020, with Groudon as the main star and reward.

The third Return Challenge 2020 arrives at Pokémon GO, this time set in the Hoenn region (third generation). Between 13:00 today, Friday May 15, 2020, and 13:00 next Friday the 22nd (always according to Spanish local time), the Niantic game is updated with all kinds of content set in Pokémon Rubi and Sapphire. Specifically, these are all the changes that the developer has prepared for us, coaches:

  • More Pokemon originating from Hoenn (such as Skitty, Seviper, Zangoose) will appear both wild and on raids.
  • 7km eggs are more likely to give birth to Clamperl, Feebas, Lotad, Mawile, Nincada, Sableye, Skitty, Slakoth and Trapinch.
  • We can meet a wild Pikachu with a Rayquaza hat.
  • Skitty Shiny or variocolor multiply.
  • The distances to hatch eggs inside the incubators and / or win candy with colleagues is halved.
  • There are new exclusive field research tasks that will offer rewards against Pokémon from the Hoenn region (which to catch, of course).
