A Pokémon GO Battle League-themed event is finally here for the Season of Timeless Travels and it’s received a bit of an upgrade. Instead of a day or a weekend, this almost week-long event will let Trainers duke it out in the GBL. Due to the timeframe, battle limits will be up to 50 battles a day (instead of the typical 100 during these types of events). Plus, another event overlaps with the GO Battle Week one. Trainers can catch some fighting Pokémon, including the regional exclusives Throh and Sawk during the Raging Battles event. Plus, Annihilape is being added to the game, so if you’re looking to evolve a Primeape into one, you’ll want to partake in some battling (check out our Raging Battles event guide for all the information). (For more details about the Season of Timeless Travels, you can check out our overall Season of Timeless Travels guide hub.)
Now, check out what’s happening during the GO Battle Week: Timeless Travels event with our guide below:
