So we’re here to help show you how to complete the GO Fest2021: Desert Mountain Habitat Collection Challenge during Pokémon GO Fest 2021.

GO Fest 2021: Desert Mountain Habitat Collection Challenge Guide

Each of the four GO Fest Collection Challenges tasks players with catching the boosted Pokémon during the hour-long habitats. For Desert Mountain players will want to play during Desert Mountain’s two hour windows on Saturday, July 17th to be able to catch the featured Pokémon. You will need a ticket to get them all, since many require Incense to spawn more frequently. And if you miss them on Saturday you will still have another chance as all habitat spawns will be available from 10am to 6pm on Sunday, July 18th.
