The Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go is drawing to a thrilling close, with Niantic placing a strong emphasis on teamwork. From May 20th to May 22nd, the Strength in Numbers Global Challenge beckons you to send as many Gifts as possible to your friends. This event, running from Tuesday to Thursday, is your chance to ramp up your gift-giving game.
During this challenge period, you'll have the opportunity to open up to 50 Gifts per day. Not only does this increase your chances of collecting Stardust, items, and strengthening friendships, but it also contributes to a collective goal. If the community succeeds, a special reward awaits: giftable Special Research tickets for the upcoming Community Day Classic: Machop.
Should the challenge be met by the deadline, starting May 23rd, you'll be able to gift these Machop Special Research tickets to any friend who has reached Great Friends status with you. You don't even need to purchase one for yourself—simply navigate to the in-game shop and spread the Fighting-type joy. You can gift up to 20 tickets per day, so feel free to be as generous as you like.
This event seamlessly transitions into the Machop Community Day Classic on May 24th, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. During this period, the Superpower Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, and yes, the Shiny variant will be making a comeback. It's the perfect opportunity for those who missed out last time or are looking to bolster their green-glowing Machamp army.
Evolving Machoke into Machamp up until May 31st will grant you a Machamp that knows Payback, a potent Dark-type Charged Attack, adding a new dimension to your classic Fighter's capabilities. With Stardust bonuses, three-hour Incense and Lures, and exclusive Timed Research offering a themed Machop encounter with enhanced Shiny odds, there's a wealth of exciting content to explore.
Prepare for this event by downloading Pokémon Go for free and visiting the Pokémon Go Web Store to stock up on necessary items in advance.
