How to unlock Growlithe
To add it to your League, complete its challenge — complete 20 runs (win or lose) — then weaken and catch it when it appears in your next run.
- Complete 20 runs (win or lose).
Goal: 20 - Catch it in your next run.
After the challenge is complete, Growlithe appears in a run. Weaken it and catch it — it only joins your League once it is caught.
"In a single run" goals must be met in one run; the others add up across all your runs. League-size goals count the partners you have caught.
