Trainers need to make sure to complete all of the four sets of tasks before the time-limit. The final stage of challenges is not yet available, but there’s a Shiny Celebi encounter for sure. If that’s something you have been waiting for, it’s a great chance to get one.

Distracted by Something Shiny released on December 14, with the Secrets of the Jungle Event.
