Separate member counts from run objectives
Only Johto League members count toward the member threshold. Kanto members do not substitute for them. Challenges that specify Johto companions must also be completed with Johto companions.
Meet every condition in the table. Tracking and the single-run status target are separate objectives; the status target must be completed within one run.
Suggested order to check your progress
Build up your Johto League, complete each beast’s tracking and status challenges, and confirm all three are captured before attempting Lugia or Ho-Oh’s required battle.
Celebi separately requires 45 Johto members and the Hard Shrine of Time battle. Larvitar is a Rare companion whose requirements are covered in its own answer.
