Here's every 'Wild Area Collection Challenge: Saturday' encounter, where to find them during the event, and the end rewards in Pokémon Go.
Update (15th November): This challenge has expired - and has been replaced by Collection Challenge: Sunday instead:

Thanks to TrainersGo on X for fleshing out the above.
The two 'Solid as Steel' and 'Daring as Dragons Hours' alternate, so provided you play during each throughout the day, you can find each listed Pokémon easily enough.
And if you don't make it in time, the Machamp wearing a modern jacket encounter is available in three-star raids throughout the weekend.
