How to catch Sudowoodo in Pokemon GO during Johto Collection event?

It has been an interesting few weeks for Pokemon GO fans as Niantic has been surprising trainers with various celebratory in-game events. These special events allow Pokemon trainers an opportunity to catch plenty of Pokemon species that are otherwise difficult to encounter. The Pokemon GO Johto Collection event is the latest event available in Pokemon GO where trainers have been tasked with completing a new challenge. As part of the challenge, trainers are required to catch a total of nine different Generation 2 Pokemon species that will be appearing throughout the event. All the Pokemon creatures appearing during the Johto Collection event belong to the Johto region and will have a higher rate.
