Trainers, the wait is finally over. Day 1 of the highly anticipated Pokémon World Championships has arrived, and Niantic, and Pokémon GO, are bringing the celebration to your screens with an in-game event.
As the 2023 Pokémon World Championships kick off, Pokémon GO joins the festivities by launching the much-anticipated “2023 Pokémon World Championships Celebration.” This event is a tribute to not only the Championships themselves but also to the thrill of the GO Battle League, a favorite amongst Trainers.
During this event, Trainers can look forward to the debut of Passimian, known as the Teamwork Pokémon, in the world of Pokémon GO. Explore your surroundings and keep your eyes peeled for this exciting addition to your Pokédex. But that’s not all, the celebration also brings forth the charismatic presence of the new costumed World Championships 2023 Pikachu and its shiny form.
The event enhances your battle experience by increasing the maximum number of battle sets per day from 5 to an impressive 10. Plus, your encounters with Pokémon through GO Battle League rewards will now showcase a wider range of attributes, including Attack, Defense, and HP.
Joining the ranks of Pokémon GO players, you too can dive into the adventure of the World Championships-themed Timed Research, a feature accessible exclusively during the event’s duration. By skillfully accomplishing the designated research tasks, you’re in for a treat, cool rewards await as a symbol of your triumph.

Hello, In 2023 Pokémon World Championships Timed Research the Use 5 charged attacks task somehow doesn’t work, I already used multiple charged attacks in both battle against other player and against team rocket grunt but it didn’t register that I did it. Can someone help?
