Pok\u00e9mon Go <\/em>is once again a featured title at the Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>World Championships, which means Niantic is helping players celebrate with a special event and more bonuses.<\/p>
The 2023 Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>World Championships Celebration event will run from Aug. 11 to 15, bringing increased spawns for specific Pok\u00e9mon, the introduction of World Championships Jersey Pikachu, and a debut for Passimian.<\/p>
Shiny Scraggy and Scrafty will also be available for the first time, and if you catch certain species like Machamp, Dewgong, Walrein, and Obstagoon during the event they will know special moves typically not available when you evolve or catch them.<\/p>
There are actually two different sets of Timed Research tasks players can complete during this event too. One is provided for free to all players, while the other must be unlocked through the use of a code shared during the Pok\u00e9mon Go <\/em>World Championship livestream.<\/p>
