As part of the Legendary Heroes event in Pokémon GOThere are key ways to compete in the Sword Path and Shield Path Collection Challenges. These are similar to challenges of its kind featured in the game before, but also unique trade-focused challenges. This is because they use the event's timed research,"Sword Path or Shield Path?".

In this case, the chosen patch dictates which Pokemon will be attracted to your location by an incense for the rest of the event.
