Triumph Together is a Global Challenge event in Pokémon Go where you have to work together with other trainers around the world to unlock three timed research quests, and other rewards.

So in order to unlock each Triumph Together timed research quest in Pokémon Go, you need to help complete the challenges in order. Meaning you need to complete the Valor Global Challenge to unlock both its rewards, and the ability to move on to the Instinct Global Challenge. Then you do the same for the Instinct challenge to unlock its rewards and the ability to move on to the final Mystic Global Challenge.

It's important to note that even though the Global Challenges and timed research quests are named after the three teams, everyone is working together during all three Global Challenges, and all trainers get all of the rewards for each challenge completion, no matter what team they're part of.

Triumph Together Global Challenges and rewards in Pokémon Go

Triumph Together runs until Saturday 31st August 7:59am (BST) / Friday 30th August at 11:59pm (PDT). It works a little differently to most events in Pokémon Go, as it's all about working together with other trainers around the world to complete three Global challenges.

These challenges unlock in order, meaning you need to complete Valor's challenge before you can start working toward Instinct's, then you need to complete Instinct's before you can take part in the final Mystic Global Challenge.

Do keep in mind that all trainers are working together during each Global Challenge, not just those who are a part of that team. This means everybody gets all of the rewards from each challenge too.
