Pokémon Go Concludes Might and Mastery Season with Global Challenge

The Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go is gearing up for an exciting finale, with Niantic placing a strong emphasis on teamwork. From Tuesday, May 20th to Thursday, May 22nd, the Strength in Numbers Global Challenge encourages you to send as many Gifts as possible to your friends. During this period, you'll have the opportunity to open up to 50 Gifts per day, increasing your chances of collecting Stardust, useful items, and boosting friendships. But the real goal is to help the global community unlock a fantastic reward: giftable Special Research tickets for the upcoming Community Day Classic featuring Machop.

If the challenge is successfully completed by the community, starting May 23rd, you'll be able to send these Machop Special Research tickets to any friend who has reached Great Friends status with you. Importantly, you can gift these tickets even if you haven't purchased one for yourself. Simply visit the in-game shop and share the Fighting-type love. Each trainer can gift up to 20 tickets per day, so there's plenty of opportunity to be generous.

This event seamlessly leads into the Machop Community Day Classic on May 24th, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. During this time, the Superpower Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, and yes, the Shiny version will be available, offering another chance for those who missed out previously to build their green-glowing Machamp army.

To add to the excitement, evolve Machoke into Machamp up until May 31st to obtain a Machamp that knows Payback, a Dark-type Charged Attack that enhances the classic Fighter's performance in certain match-ups. Alongside Stardust bonuses, three-hour Incense and Lures, and limited-time Timed Research featuring a themed Machop encounter with increased Shiny odds, there's a wealth of activities to dive into.

Prepare for this thrilling event by downloading Pokémon Go for free and visit the Pokémon Go Web Store to stock up on supplies in advance.
