The Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go is drawing to a close, and Niantic is emphasizing teamwork as we head into the finale. From Tuesday, May 20th to Thursday, May 22nd, the Strength in Numbers Global Challenge beckons you to send as many Gifts as you can to your friends. This event is your chance to ramp up your friendship levels and gather valuable resources.
During the challenge, you can open up to 50 Gifts per day, which means more opportunities to collect Stardust, items, and friendship boosts. But the real goal here is to help the global community unlock a special reward: giftable Special Research tickets for the upcoming Community Day Classic: Machop.
If the challenge is successfully completed by the deadline, starting May 23rd, you'll have the ability to send these Machop Special Research tickets to any friend who has reached Great Friends status with you. You don't even need to purchase a ticket for yourself to spread the love; simply head to the in-game shop and share the Fighting-type excitement. Each trainer can gift up to 20 tickets per day, so feel free to be as generous as you like.
This leads seamlessly 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 Shiny Machop will be available once again. This is the perfect opportunity for trainers who missed the initial event or those looking to add more Shiny Machamp to their collection.
Don't miss out on evolving Machoke into Machamp up until May 31st to obtain a Machamp that knows Payback, a powerful Dark-type Charged Attack. This move can give the classic Fighter an advantage in specific battles. With Stardust bonuses, three-hour Incense and Lures, and exclusive Timed Research that offers a themed Machop encounter with enhanced Shiny odds, there's a wealth of content to explore.
