- Strength in Numbers runs from May 20th to 22nd
- Give as many gifts as possible during the event
- Special Research tickets for Community Day Classic are giftable too
As Pokémon Go's Might and Mastery season races toward its climax, Niantic is dialing up the cooperative spirit. The Strength in Numbers Global Challenge kicks off on May 20th and runs through May 22nd, testing trainers' generosity through gift exchanges.
During this three-day window, you'll get to open a boosted limit of 50 Gifts daily. While this means more Stardust and goodies for you, the real prize comes from helping the worldwide trainer community unlock giftable Machop Community Day Classic Special Research tickets.
If players collectively complete the challenge in time, starting May 23rd you can send these valuable tickets to any Great Friend on your list. The best part? You don't even need to purchase one for yourself first - simply visit the shop and share the Fighting-type spirit freely. With a generous daily cap of 20 gifted tickets per player, there's ample opportunity to spread the love.
Mark your calendars for Machop Community Day Classic on May 24th between 2-5 pm local time. The supercharged fighting Pokémon will swarm locations worldwide, with Shiny encounters making their triumphant return for collectors and battlers alike.
Evolving Machoke by May 31st earns you a Machamp with the Dark-type move Payback, adding strategic depth to this classic fighter's moveset. The event brings boosted Stardust, extended Incense/Lure durations, and special Timed Research featuring increased Shiny odds for one guaranteed Machop encounter.
