These events often come with a selection of challenges and bonuses, and the appearance of the Colt Pokémon is no different. You can complete a Mythic Blade Collection Challenge and collect a selection of event-exclusive field research tasks throughout this short Pokémon Go event, and a ticketed Special Research featuring Ordinary Form Keldeo for those who wish to partake. Along with a selection of themed Pokémon making their appearance during the Mythic Blade event, Crabrawler will be making its Pokémon Go debut! On this page: Remember – you must complete this challenge before 8pm (local time) on Sunday, 11th December or else you won’t be able to collect its rewards. Here are the Pokémon, arranged in National Pokédex order, in the Mythic Blade Collection Challenge, along with how to catch them:
Machop – In the wild and Team Go Rocket battles Machoke – Evolve a Machop with 25 Candy Galarian Farfetch’d – Event-exclusive field Hitmonlee – In the wild, event-exclusive field research tasks and Team Go Rocket battles Hitmonchan – In the wild, event-exclusive field research tasks and Team Go Rocket battles Hitmontop – In the wild and event-exclusive field research tasks Makuhita – In the wild and Team Go Rocket battles Hariyama – Evolve a Makuhita with 50 Candy Meditite – In the wild and in raids Medicham – Evolve a Meditite with 50 Candy Crabrawler – In the wild

The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Completing event-exclusive tasks, shown by the orange highlights in the Field view, will reward you with event-themed Pokémon. These frequently sit outside the normal spawn pool and become much rarer after the event.
Although these tasks can be saved and completed after the event ends, we recommend completing them during the Mythic Blade event as the Pokémon encounters you earn may help you complete the Collection Challenge.
Here are the Mythic Blade field research tasks in Pokémon Go:
Power up Pokémon 15 times reward – Galarian Farfetch’d encounter Catch 15 Fighting-type Pokémon reward – Galarian Farfetch’d encounter Catch 7 Fighting-type Pokémon reward – Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan or Hitmontop encounter
Thank you to The Silph Research Group from reddit for the help with this information! Players who buy a ticket to the event ($7.99 or the local equivalent pricing tier) will be able to catch the Mythical Pokémon Keldeo. The spawn pool will be slightly different during the event, and the following Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild: Mankey, Machop, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Hitmontop, Combusken, Makuhita, Meditite and Monferno. Poliwrath and the newly released Crabrawler will be rare spawns. Raids will also be slightly different, and will feature several Pokémon that are both popular in Go Battle League. You can expect to see the following raids during the event:
One-Star: Meditite, Buizel, Timburr and Tympole Three-Star: Poliwrath, Aerodactyl, Skarmory and Breloom Five-Star: Terrakion and Virizion (both will know the exclusive Charged move Sacred Sword) Mega: Mega Aggron
Keldeo fans can head to the store to purchase themed outfits for their avatar. Ticket-holding players will receive a Keldeo T-Shirt avatar item as part of the Special Research line. Lastly, there will be special Incense encounters for ticket-holding players, with the following Pokémon appearing more frequently. Non-ticket-holders will have access to the regular Incense spawn pool:
Machop Hitmonlee Hitmonchan Hitmontop Beldum Tympole Ferroseed
Of these, Beldum will be the chase Pokémon, due to its strength in Master League and raids alike. Good luck and we hope you enjoy this year’s Mythic Blade event in Pokémon Go!
