In Pokémon GO the Environmental Week 2022 is running with a Collector Challenge. But which Pokémon does the Moss Lure Module attract and where are Weepinbell and Gloom?
What’s happening in Pokémon GO? On April 20, the big Environmental Week 2022 began. This brings special spawns, the new Pokémon Combee, and shiny Pidgey. With a Moss Lure Module, you should solve the Collector Challenge of the event, but trainers are running into problems.
Trainers are wondering where Weepinbell and Gloom are hiding.
Weepinbell and Gloom are causing problems
This is the Collector Challenge: For the challenges, you need to catch six Pokémon. You will be rewarded with 10,000 XP, 15 Ultra Balls, and an encounter with Bayleef. The rewards originally included a Moss Lure Module, but Niantic stepped in at the last minute. The six Pokémon you need to catch are:
- Pidgey
- Grimer
- Weepinbell
- Gloom
- Slugma
- Chelcarain
What is special: Right at the start of the event, the Niantic team explained that you will only find two Pokémon of the Collector Challenge with a Moss Lure Module. They do not spawn in the wild. These are Weepinbell and Gloom. The other Pokémon can also be found in the wild.
What is the problem? On reddit and in social networks, trainers are asking where Weepinbell is hiding. Despite having a Moss Lure Module activated, they cannot find the Pokémon with which they could complete their challenge.
Thus, trainer nerdyguytx says on reddit: “Moss Lure Modules do not attract Weepinbell.” He writes that he and his friend used their Moss Lure Modules at a PokéStop, but in the hour that the module was active, no Weepinbell was attracted.
Many trainers agree. One explains: “I saw a few people confirm that they got it. But I feel like you. I have used 3 Lure Modules so far and haven’t seen [Weepinbell].”
For other trainers, the problem is more Gloom. They say that while they were able to catch Weepinbell, Gloom would hide from them.
It is quite possible that Niantic sees the problems and will offer a solution in the coming days that will help you with the Collector Challenge. Perhaps they will adjust the spawn rates of the lure modules again.
Have you had success with the Collector Challenge and managed to catch all Pokémon, or do you also have problems with Weepinbell or Gloom? Please share your experience here on MeinMMO in the comments.
