The 'Wild Area Collection Challenge: Saturday' tasks you with tracking down a group of eight Pokémon in Pokémon Go.

Running between 10am and 6pm on Saturday, 14th November - that's eight hours total - this Collection Challenge offers structure to day one of the Go Wild Area weekend for paid ticket holders.

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Update (15th November): This challenge has expired - and has been replaced by Collection Challenge: Sunday instead: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.
