Pokémon Go Concludes Might and Mastery Season with Global Strength Challenge

by Zoe May 26,2025

The Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go is set to culminate with a focus on collaboration, as Niantic introduces the Strength in Numbers Global Challenge. This event runs from Tuesday, May 20th to Thursday, May 22nd, encouraging players to send as many Gifts as possible to their friends.

During this challenge, you can open up to 50 Gifts per day, offering more opportunities to collect Stardust, items, and enhance friendships. More crucially, each Gift sent helps the global community move closer to unlocking an exciting reward: giftable Special Research tickets for the Community Day Classic: Machop, happening soon.

Should the community meet the challenge's goal by May 22nd, starting on May 23rd, players can gift these Machop Special Research tickets to friends who have reached Great Friends status. You can gift these tickets even without purchasing one for yourself—simply navigate to the in-game shop and share the Fighting-type excitement. Each player has the capacity to gift up to 20 tickets daily, providing ample opportunity for generosity.

This initiative smoothly transitions into the Community Day Classic: Machop event on May 24th, from 2 to 5 pm local time. During this period, Machop, the Superpower Pokémon, will appear more frequently in the wild, and Shiny Machop will be available once again. This is a golden opportunity for those who missed out on the initial event or are eager to add a Shiny Machamp to their collection.

To enhance your experience during this event, evolve Machoke into Machamp until May 31st to teach it Payback, a Dark-type Charged Attack that can give this classic Fighter an advantage in select battles. Alongside this, enjoy Stardust bonuses, three-hour Incense and Lure durations, and special Timed Research that includes encounters with Machop featuring increased Shiny odds.

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