- Strength in Numbers event runs from May 20th to 22nd
- Send as many Gifts as possible to friends
- Unlock giftable Special Research tickets for Community Day Classic
The Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go is reaching its grand finale, with Niantic emphasizing collaboration. From May 20th to May 22nd, the Strength in Numbers Global Challenge encourages players to send Gifts to friends in abundance.
During this event, you can open up to 50 Gifts daily, boosting your Stardust, items, and friendship levels. More crucially, your efforts contribute to a global goal that unlocks giftable Special Research tickets for the Community Day Classic: Machop.
If the community succeeds, starting May 23rd, you can send Machop Special Research tickets to friends at Great Friends status or higher. No personal ticket purchase is needed—just visit the in-game shop to share the Fighting-type spirit. Each player can gift up to 20 tickets daily, making generosity a key theme.

The challenge flows into the Machop Community Day Classic on May 24th, from 2 to 5 pm local time. Expect frequent Machop spawns, including the return of Shiny Machop, ideal for trainers aiming to build a sparkling Machamp collection.
