- Pokemon GO's new Global Challenge aims to unite players by sending gifts
Pokemon GO has announced a new Global Challenge that will kick off on May 20. This is another event that Niantic will release during the current Might and Mastery season and one of the last activities available for Pokemon GO players in May.
Pokemon GO Global Challenges are a gameplay element that unites the community around a specific goal. These challenges are usually quite straightforward and don't offer a high level of difficulty. A previous global challenge included players completing 40 million raids together, receiving double Stardust as a bonus when capturing Pokemon. More recently, Niantic launched new global challenges for players to complete, earning rewards such as double XP and an encounter with the Gen 9 monster Fidough. This time, the devs will be releasing another global challenge and have given details of what Pokemon GO players can expect.
Pokemon GO Player Has Incredible Raid Luck
Pokemon GO raids are an opportunity for players to get some powerful pocket monsters, and one trainer recently had some great luck.
