The Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go is reaching its thrilling conclusion, and Niantic is 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. This event is your opportunity to rack up those Gifts and make a significant impact.
During the challenge, you can open up to 50 Gifts per day, offering more opportunities to collect Stardust, useful items, and enhance your friendships. But the real prize is the collective effort to unlock a special reward: giftable Special Research tickets for the upcoming Community Day Classic: Machop.
If the global challenge is successfully met by May 22nd, 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. These tickets can be gifted even if you haven't purchased one for yourself. Simply navigate to the in-game shop and share the Fighting-type love. You can gift up to 20 tickets per day, so feel free to be generous!
This initiative seamlessly transitions into the Machop Community Day Classic on May 24th, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. During this event, the Superpower Pokémon, Machop, will appear more frequently in the wild. Shiny hunters, rejoice! The Shiny version of Machop will be available, giving everyone another chance to add a green-glowing Machamp to their collection.
Don't miss the chance to evolve Machoke into Machamp up until May 31st. Doing so will grant your Machamp the Dark-type Charged Attack, Payback, which can be a game-changer in specific battles. With Stardust bonuses, three-hour Incense and Lures, and exclusive Timed Research offering encounters with Machop at boosted Shiny odds, there's a wealth of content to explore.
