In the month of January, trainers will be able to participate in the Season of Heritage XP Challenge. For this event, trainers will need to rack up as much XP as possible to earn rewards. The final reward for completing the XP challenge is the stylish Goomy Hat.

The individual tasks for the Season of Heritage XP Challenge and their rewards are as follows:

• Collect 1,00 XP: 15 Poke Balls
• Collect 6,000 XP: Lure Module

In order to participate in the challenge, trainers are going to need to purchase a ticket for the Johto event before Monday, January 10, 2022. Once the ticket is bought, though, the challenge can be completed at any point within the month of January.

If any trainers are looking for a good day to grind XP, they might want to circle January 16 on their calendars. This will be Spheal Community Day, and one of the bonuses for the event will be triple catch XP. A smart trainer could activate a Lucky Egg for this event, catch tons of Spheal and end up with plenty of XP.
