While Trainers are sleuthing for clues and Costumed Pokémon encounters during the Detective Pikachu Returns event, they can also head over to the GO Battle League and participate in the seasonal GO Battle event. This time it’s a weekend-long event and can reward Trainers with a piece from the Geeta-inspired avatar collection.
