- The Strength in Numbers event takes place May 20-22
- Send as many gifts as possible to friends
- Giftable Special Research tickets for Community Day Classic included
As Pokémon Go's Might and Mastery season approaches its climax, Niantic emphasizes community collaboration. From May 20-22, the Strength in Numbers Global Challenge encourages trainers to exchange gifts on an unprecedented scale.
During this period, players can open 50 gifts daily - boosting Stardust, item rewards, and friendship levels while contributing toward unlocking Community Day Classic: Machop Special Research tickets for gifting.
Upon successful completion starting May 23, Great Friends can receive these Machop research tickets from each other. Remarkably, you can gift tickets without purchasing one yourself - simply visit the in-game shop. With a daily limit of 20 tickets per trainer, the Pokémon community can share this Fighting-type opportunity generously.

The challenge culminates in the Machop Community Day Classic on May 24 (2-5 PM local time), featuring increased wild encounters and Shiny Machop appearances - ideal for newcomers and veteran trainers alike.
