The Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go is culminating in a thrilling finale, with Niantic emphasizing the power of teamwork. From Tuesday, May 20th to Thursday, May 22nd, the Strength in Numbers Global Challenge invites you to send as many Gifts as you can to your friends. This event encourages a global effort where players can open up to 50 Gifts per day, offering more opportunities to earn Stardust, items, and friendship boosts. But the real goal is to help the 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 on May 23rd, you'll have the chance to send these Machop Special Research tickets to any friend who has reached Great Friends status with you. The tickets can be gifted even if you haven’t purchased one yourself. Simply visit the in-game shop to spread the Fighting-type love. Each trainer can gift up to 20 tickets per day, providing ample opportunity for generosity.
This initiative seamlessly transitions into the Machop Community Day Classic event on May 24th, from 2 to 5 pm local time. During this period, the Superpower Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, and the Shiny version will be available again, offering another chance for those who missed it or wish to build a green-glowing Machamp army.
For those looking to enhance their Machamp, evolve Machoke up until May 31st to obtain a Machamp that knows Payback, a Dark-type Charged Attack, giving this classic Fighter an edge in specific match-ups. With Stardust bonuses, three-hour Incense and Lures, and limited-time Timed Research that includes a themed Machop encounter with increased Shiny odds, there's plenty to explore during this event.
Prepare for the event by downloading Pokémon Go for free and visit the Pokémon Go Web Store to stock up on necessary items in advance.
