Plusle is one of the most challenging Pokemon to find for the Hoenn Collection in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how they can find and capture it. There are 9 Pokemon that are needed to complete the challenge. Not only will players receive items for completing the challenge, but they will also unlock an exclusive medal that will disappear if the player takes too long. The event is running up until this upcoming Sunday, providing players with a limited amount of time to capture all of these Pokemon. While some of them may spawn naturally in the wild, Plusle is one of the Pokemon that will require the most work. Here is how players can find it in Pokemon Go.

This is the third collection challenge to take place in the game. Currently, this is the game's 5th anniversary as well as the entire Pokemon series' 25th anniversary. All of these collection events are leading up to the Kanto Tour event taking place in February, a 12 hour premium event that provides the player the opportunity to capture Shiny versions of the original 151 Pokemon, some even for the first time. The Hoenn Collection challenge has also increased the spawn rates of several Hoenn Pokemon. This is a great time to build on some candy or capture some Hoenn Pokemon you are missing. Here is how players can find Plusle in Pokemon Go.

How To Find (& Catch) Plusle in Pokemon Go (Hoenn Collection)

Pokémon GO: All Hoenn Pokémon

Unlike the other Pokemon from the challenge, Plusle will only appear if the player completes a specific Field Research task. In order to find Plusle (& Minum), the player will need to find the Field Research that requires them to capture 11 Pokemon. The challenge itself isn't too difficult, but finding the right Field Research is a task on its own. The best way to increase your chances is to throw away the current Field Research task you have and continue to spin PokeStops until the "Capture 11 Pokemon" task appears. Continue to throw away these tasks until it appears. Once the player has completed it, players will have a 50% chance of running into Plusle. This is also the exact method of finding Minum, Plusle's counterpart Pokemon.

This is possibly one of the most difficult Pokemon to capture for this event. Just go on a walk (while social distancing) and continue to head towards PokeStops to find it. Make sure to complete this challenge before this Sunday to unlock that special medal.
