For Pokemon GO Fest in Chicago, Professor Willow set the community a pretty big challenge. For a while, it looked like Team Instinct might not make it, but those dedicated Trainers pulled through for the rest of the Pokemon GO community. After managing to rack up 5 million research tasks in a day, Team Instinct pulled through, and all the rewards have been unlocked.

The rewards will be available from Tuesday, June 18 to Tuesday, June 25. The rewards that were unlocked are as follows:

  • Double catch candy
  • One rare candy guaranteed per raid
  • 1/2 hatch distance for eggs
  • double hatch candy

On top of that, there will be a Raikou raid day as well. The date and times of the Raids have yet to be announced, although I imagine it will be coming sometime over the next week.

The next Global Challenge will take place during Pokemon GO Fest Dortmund, and will involve the following Challenges:

Challenge Date + Time

Thursday, July 4, 2019, at 1 a.m. to Sunday, July 7, 2019, at 9 a.m. PDT (GMT −7)

  • This challenge lasts from start to finish of Pokémon GO Fest Dortmund.

Challenge Research Tasks

  • Pokémon GO Fest Dortmund event attendees—Complete 1 million research tasks to unlock 3× Catch XP
  • Team Instinct—Complete 15 million research tasks globally to unlock 1-hour Lucky Eggs
  • Team Valor—Complete 15 million research tasks globally to unlock 3× Hatch XP
  • Team Mystic—Complete 15 million research tasks globally to unlock 2× Raid XP

Reward Bonus Date + Time

  • All successfully unlocked bonuses will run from Tuesday, July 9, 2019, at 1 p.m. until Tuesday, July 16, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT.
  • Unlock all the above bonuses, and Entei will be available in raids Sunday, July 14, 2019 (time to be announced later). If you’re lucky, you might encounter Shiny Entei!

Hopefully, the next Global Challenge won’t be such a close run thing, but for now, well done to Team Instinct for getting all their research tasks completed!
