Sunkern is 1 of the 9 Pokemon needed to complete the Johto Collection challenge in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how they can locate it. A new week is here and a new collection challenge is upon us. Players have until this upcoming Sunday to capture all 9 Pokemon required for the Johto Collection event. This includes Pokemon like the starters and a handful of iconic Johto region Pokemon. The player will be rewarded with a few items but the real prize is the exclusive collection medal for capturing them all. Make sure to find them before this Sunday or else the challenge will go away forever. Here is how players can find Sunkern in Pokemon Go.
Sunkern is one of the less interesting Pokemon from the Johto region. While it is iconic in its design, its overall usefulness in both Pokemon Go and in Pokemon Gold and Silver, the game the Pokemon originated from, are fairly scarce. Players will likely just want to capture this Pokemon to complete the Pokedex. Regardless, it is 1 of the 9 Pokemon required to complete the Johto Collection challenge. This guide will show players how they can find it easily when exploring the wild of Pokemon Go.
How To Find (& Catch) Sunkern in Pokemon Go (Johto Collection)
While not as common as the starter Pokemon of Johto, Sunkern can give players a bit of a hard time to encounter. The best thing to do to increase its chances of appearing would be to use either an Incense or a Lure. The Incense will increase the overall spawn of Pokemon for 1 hour. Combine this with the already increased spawn rates of Johto Pokemon for the week and players will surely find them within the hour. Players can also use the Mossy Lure to increase the chances of Grass-type Pokemon making an appearance. This responsibility is best shared with another player, as Lures are much more challenging to come by than Incenses.
Regardless, the Incense is the best way for players to encounter a Sunkern for this challenge. The lucky ones might also just randomly encounter it when walking around. It's completely up to chance. Players will want to make sure to complete this challenge before this upcoming challenge to collect these items and that exclusive medal. Time is ticking so make sure to get out there (responsibly) and capture all the Pokemon needed for the Johto Collection.
