Pokemon GO: What Are Weekly Challenges?

Pokemon GO How To join Weekly Challenges

Weekly Challenges are social events that trainers join up to complete. You can form a team with three Pokemon GO Friends to join and complete a Weekly Challenge. Since it is a Weekly Challenge, you and your fellow trainers can partake in one every week.

You do not have to be in the same location as your in-game Friends; even remote players can join the group, which makes it a special update. This feature doesn’t have any requirements other than needing 3 trainers to be eligible for participation. You can select trainers from your Friend list; they do not have to be physically around you. The more you complete the Weekly Challenges, the faster you can increase the Pokemon GO Friendship level with your group members.

Pokemon GO: How To Find Weekly Challenges?

The Pokemon GO Weekly Challenges feature isn’t like the weekly Spotlight events, which anyone who logs in can access automatically. You will see a new dedicated tab around your profile page once the developers update the in-game feature. All you have to do is click the tab to access the week’s challenge.
