There are incentives to this choice, with bonuses on each side, and the choice will matter beyond the standard available Timed Research rewards. There are only select differences between the Sword and Shield versions of the Legendary Heroes event. We still have several other similarities for all Pok\u00e9mon Go players during the event. We'll be breaking down the various wild encounters, significant differences between the Sword and Shields paths, all the event bonuses, and Field Research tasks you can earn during the Legendary Heroes event, which takes place from Sept. 26 to Oct. 1. All wild Pok\u00e9mon encounters for Legendary Heroes in Pok\u00e9mon Go Although you'll choose between a Sword and Shield version of the Legendary Heroes event, the wild Pok\u00e9mon encounters remain the same. All Pok\u00e9mon Go players should expect to find the same Pok\u00e9mon spawning in the wild, regardless of their choice. Here's a full breakdown of all wild Pok\u00e9mon you can expect to see during Pok\u00e9mon Go's Legendary Heroes event. We've added an asterisk (*) next to their name, signifying if you can find a Shiny version of that Pok\u00e9mon. Galarian Darumaka* Galarian Ponyta* Grookey Koffing* Scorbunny Skwovet* Sobble Differences between Legendary Heroes Sword and Shield paths in Pok\u00e9mon Go The significant differences between the Sword and Shield paths during the Legendary Heroes event come down to what Pok\u00e9mon you can find when you activate your incense and the Collection Challenges. The Collection Challenges are directly tied to the Pok\u00e9mon you can find with your incense, meaning if you choose the Sword path, you'll be after those Pok\u00e9mon, or you'll be after the ones from the Shield path. Despite the different challenges in Pok\u00e9mon Go, they should have the same rewards. These are all the Pok\u00e9mon you can find if you choose the Sword path when you activate an incense. Deino* Gothita* Passimian* Scraggy* Seedot* Swirlix* These are all the Pok\u00e9mon you can find if you select the Shield path when you activate an incense. Croagunk* Larvitar* Lotad* Oranguru* Solosis* Spritzee* All Legendary Heroes event bonuses in Pok\u00e9mon Go A series of passive event bonuses are available to all Pok\u00e9mon Go players during the Legendary Heroes event. Even if you don't participate in the larger event and only walk around, catching Pok\u00e9mon occasionally, these bonuses still go to you and provide an incentive to start focusing on the event Pok\u00e9mon. You can expect to get these active event bonuses during the Legendary Heroes event in Pok\u00e9mon Go. All special trades require 50 percent less Stardust Koffing can evolve into Galarian Weezing All Legendary Heroes Field Research tasks and rewards in Pok\u00e9mon Go These Field Research tasks and rewards are available to all Pok\u00e9mon Go players during the Legendary Heroes event. You can get them by spinning the Pok\u00e9 Stop or Gym dials while you have a free Field Research task slot. If you don't, these won't pop up, and you can't receive more than one Field Research task from Pok\u00e9 Stop or a Gym on the same day. You'll have to come back to them. These Field Research tasks will have the event-exclusive banner on them, making them easier to track down. These are all the Legendary Heroes Field Research tasks and rewards you can get in Pok\u00e9mon Go.

There are incentives to this choice, with bonuses on each side, and the choice will matter beyond the standard available Timed Research rewards. There are only select differences between the Sword and Shield versions of the Legendary Heroes event. We still have several other similarities for all Pok\u00e9mon Go players during the event. We'll be breaking down the various wild encounters, significant differences between the Sword and Shields paths, all the event bonuses, and Field Research tasks you can earn during the Legendary Heroes event, which takes place from Sept. 26 to Oct. 1. All wild Pok\u00e9mon encounters for Legendary Heroes in Pok\u00e9mon Go Although you'll choose between a Sword and Shield version of the Legendary Heroes event, the wild Pok\u00e9mon encounters remain the same. All Pok\u00e9mon Go players should expect to find the same Pok\u00e9mon spawning in the wild, regardless of their choice. Here's a full breakdown of all wild Pok\u00e9mon you can expect to see during Pok\u00e9mon Go's Legendary Heroes event. We've added an asterisk () next to their name, signifying if you can find a Shiny version of that Pok\u00e9mon. Galarian Darumaka Galarian Ponyta* Grookey Koffing* Scorbunny Skwovet* Sobble Differences between Legendary Heroes Sword and Shield paths in Pok\u00e9mon Go The significant differences between the Sword and Shield paths during the Legendary Heroes event come down to what Pok\u00e9mon you can find when you activate your incense and the Collection Challenges. The Collection Challenges are directly tied to the Pok\u00e9mon you can find with your incense, meaning if you choose the Sword path, you'll be after those Pok\u00e9mon, or you'll be after the ones from the Shield path. Despite the different challenges in Pok\u00e9mon Go, they should have the same rewards. These are all the Pok\u00e9mon you can find if you choose the Sword path when you activate an incense. Deino* Gothita* Passimian* Scraggy* Seedot* Swirlix* These are all the Pok\u00e9mon you can find if you select the Shield path when you activate an incense. Croagunk* Larvitar* Lotad* Oranguru* Solosis* Spritzee* All Legendary Heroes event bonuses in Pok\u00e9mon Go A series of passive event bonuses are available to all Pok\u00e9mon Go players during the Legendary Heroes event. Even if you don't participate in the larger event and only walk around, catching Pok\u00e9mon occasionally, these bonuses still go to you and provide an incentive to start focusing on the event Pok\u00e9mon. You can expect to get these active event bonuses during the Legendary Heroes event in Pok\u00e9mon Go. All special trades require 50 percent less Stardust Koffing can evolve into Galarian Weezing All Legendary Heroes Field Research tasks and rewards in Pok\u00e9mon Go These Field Research tasks and rewards are available to all Pok\u00e9mon Go players during the Legendary Heroes event. You can get them by spinning the Pok\u00e9 Stop or Gym dials while you have a free Field Research task slot. If you don't, these won't pop up, and you can't receive more than one Field Research task from Pok\u00e9 Stop or a Gym on the same day. You'll have to come back to them. These Field Research tasks will have the event-exclusive banner on them, making them easier to track down. These are all the Legendary Heroes Field Research tasks and rewards you can get in Pok\u00e9mon Go.
