Go Battle Week Shared Skies in Pokémon Go explained

The Go Battle Week: Shared Skies event is running alongside Pokémon Go World Championships 2024, running until 11:59pm (local time) on Tuesday 20th August. All three main leagues of the Go Battle League are active during this event - Great, Ultra and Master - alongside the Catch Cup: Great League Edition. There's also a host of bonuses you can take advantage of.

First off, like any Go Battle event, the number of battle sets you can partake in each day has been increased to 20, meaning you can compete in 100 battles per day. You will also receive x4 Stardust from win rewards, but not from the end-of-set rewards. Meanwhile, any Pokémon you earn from reward encounters will have a wider variance in Attack, Defence and HP stats.

Finally, there's a free Timed Research quest running as part of this event which is all about battling. Completing this quest will reward you with the Lana Wig.

Here's the challenges and rewards for this Go Battle Week timed research quest:

'Go Battle Week' Step 1 of 1

• Battle in the Go Battle League 10 times - 7500 XP

Rewards: Three Rare Candies, one Elite Charged TM and the Lana Wig.

Everything we know about the Pokémon Go World Championships 2024

The Pokémon Go World Championships 2024 event is running until Tuesday 20th August at 8pm (local time). During this time you can also partake in the Go Battle Week: Shared Skies event, which we've outlined in more detail above,until 11:59pm (local time) on Tuesday 20th August.

If you're planning to watch the actual World Championships via Twitch, then you'll have the chance to obtain three free Timed Research quests. The first two are obtained by watching 30 minutes of the Pokémon Go Twitch livestream on Friday 16th August and Saturday 17th August. (One for each day.) The third code, meanwhile, can be obtained by watching one of the official Pokémon Go co-streamers on Twitch throughout the duration of the event. You can find the co-streamers listed here. All of these codes are valid until Monday 26th August, but you can only redeem them once.

You can also get the 2024 Worlds Tee White via code shared during the Worlds Championships stream.

Back to the World Championships 2024 event itself, however, and let's start with the two bonuses running throughout the event. First off we see a return of a Team Rocket bonus as you can use a Charged TM to make a Shadow Pokémon forget the Charged Attack, Frustration. Secondly, you can make up to five Special Trades per day during the event. This tallies to a total of 25 Special Trades across the full event - just remember that they're divided into five for each day.

The World Championships 2024 event also sees the release of shiny Mienfoo and Mienshao, its evolution, in Pokémon Go. Some may say, however, that the more exciting news is the release of a new costume Pokémon - World Championships 2024 Pikachu. I'll admit to being slightly excited myself as, rather than just a single flower or another party hat, Pikachu has been given a full scuba diving outfit. Will I be desperately searching for the shiny version? Probably yes. It might be quite a task though since World Championship 2024 Pikachu can only be found through event-exclusive research tasks and in one-star raids.

The following Pokémon are appearing more frequently in the wild during the Pokémon Go World Championships 2024 event:

• Mankey
• Lickitung
• Marill
• Paldean Wooper
• Skarmory
• Swablu
• Fletchling
• Carbink
• Grubbin
• Mareanie

You'll also be able to battle the following Pokémon in raids during the event:

Shadow Raids don't want to leave left out either and here's who you can battle:

If raiding isn't your style, however, then PokéStop Showcases are also running throughout the Pokémon Go World Championships 2024 event.

The last part of this event available to all players is the new selection of avatar items for sale in the in-game shop. You can now purchase a 2024 Worlds Ukulele Pose, 2024 Worlds Bucket Hat and 2024 Worlds Aloha Shirt.

Now onto the prize only a select group of Pokémon Go players will get during this event. If you become one of the top qualifying Pokémon Go players in this year's World Championships in Honolulu, then you will receive the World Championships 2024 outfit and pose. (Along with some real world prizes as well I hope!) This special outfit and pose will really make you stand out amongst the other Pokémon Go players. Best of luck to all those competing in the World Championships!

Finally, there is a pay-to-play timed research quest running throughout the World Championships event - if you pay $5 or the equivalent in your local currency of course.This fee is nonrefundable nor can Poké Coin be used. You must also complete the quest before 8pm (local time) on Tuesday 20th August if you want to complete it or risk losing the rewards it offers. These rewards include 25,000 Stardust, a Premium Battle Pass and encounters with Pokémon who do traditionally do well in the Go Battle League like Azumarill and Cresselia.

Hope you enjoy this year's World Championships event in Pokémon Go!
