Pokémon Go to Conclude Might and Mastery Season with Global Challenge

Author:Kristen Update:May 26,2025

The Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go is approaching its thrilling finale, with Niantic emphasizing the power of 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 chance to bolster your friendships and earn rewards.

During the challenge, you can open up to 50 Gifts daily, increasing your chances of collecting Stardust, items, and friendship boosts. But the real goal here is to help the global community unlock a fantastic reward: giftable Special Research tickets for the upcoming Community Day Classic featuring Machop.

Should the community complete the challenge in time, starting May 23rd, you'll have the opportunity to send these Machop Special Research tickets to any friend who has reached Great Friends status with you. You can gift these tickets even if you haven't purchased one yourself. Simply visit 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 want.

Pokémon Go Strength in Numbers Event

This event seamlessly transitions into the Machop Community Day Classic on May 24th, running from 2 to 5 pm local time. During this period, the Superpower Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, and yes, the chance to catch a Shiny Machop is back, perfect for those who missed the initial event or are aiming to build an impressive green-glowing Machamp army.

Make sure to evolve Machoke into Machamp up until May 31st to teach it Payback, a Dark-type Charged Attack that enhances its performance in select battles. With Stardust bonuses, three-hour Incense and Lures, and exclusive Timed Research offering encounters with Machop at increased Shiny odds, there's a wealth of opportunities to explore.

Prepare for this event by downloading Pokémon Go for free and visiting the Pokémon Go Web Store to stock up on supplies in advance.
