The final Throwback Challenge week has arrived in Pokémon Go, the Champion Throwback Challenge, where players will encounter an array of Unova and have the chance to capture Galarian Pokémon from Pokémon Sword and Shield. Those who finished all of the previous Throwback Challenge events will have access to this, but you can always purchase your ticket from the Pokémon Go application.
Much like the previous weeks, the Champion Throwback Challenge features a variety of different research tasks players will need to complete to move on to the next task. Each series of completed challenges yields several rewards, but unlike the previous ones, the Champion Challenges do not have a time limit. You can complete them at your leisure so long as you have access to them through purchasing the ticket or having completed all of the Throwback Challenges.
