Fighting-type Pokémon take stage in next Pokémon Go event

One event ends and another one begins. This morning a new fighting type Pokémon Go event kicked off and there’s some fighting inspired bonuses around this one;

• Until May 14th more fighting type Pokemon will appear
• 2x bonus XP for Gym Battles and Raid Battles
• Raid Battles will award 3000 Stardust and at least one Rare Candy if you win
• 2x Badge Multiplayer at gym and photo discs at gyms will have more items

It’s time to test the strength of your Pokémon during a special battle event! Fighting-type Pokémon, such as Machop and Makuhita, will appear more frequently in the wild starting May 1 at 1:00 p.m. PDT.

But what’s a battle celebration without some competition at your nearby Gym? Until May 14, you’ll receive 2× bonus XP for Gym Battles and Raid Battles. Plus, Raid Battles will also award a guaranteed 3,000 Stardust for participating—and at least one Rare Candy if you win!

Several actions at Gyms will yield bonuses, including a 2× Badge multiplier, so you can receive even more benefits at a Gym you visit frequently. Just stopping by? Spinning the Photo Disc at Gyms will also yield more items!

Our Battle Showdown is sure to pack a punch, so don’t miss it!

Got any fighting types you haven’t got? Now’s your time.
