Battle Showdown 2018 Event



Battle Showdown 2018 Event IS HERE!


 

Trainers, It's time to put your Pokémon's might to the test during a special fight event! From May 1 at 1:00 p.m. PDT, fighting-type Pokémon like Machop and Makuhita will surface more regularly in the wild.

What, then, is a fight celebration without a little friendly rivalry at your local gym? You will get an additional 2 XP for participating in raid and gym battles until May 14. Moreover, winning a Raid Fight will get you at least one Rare Candy and a guaranteed 3,000 Stardust!

Many activities in gyms will result in bonuses, such as a 2x Badge multiplier, allowing you to get even more advantages at a gym you frequent. Just passing through? The Picture Disc will produce extra objects when spun at gyms, too!

Don't miss our Battle Showdown; it will undoubtedly be powerful!

Increased Fighting-Types and More for the Battle Showdown Event











batshow2018








On May 1st, Niantic announced On May 1 at 1:00 PM PST until May 14, a new event will be held. Fighting-type Pokemon will be simpler to locate in the wild during the event. There will also be unique perks for raiding and gym fighting:

  • Shiny Makuhita confirmed

  • Shiny Meditite confirmed

  • New Raid Bosses

    • Tier 2: Combusken, Primeape

    • Tier 3: Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Breloom

    • Tier 4: Poliwrath



  • 2x bonus XP for Gym Battles and Raid Battles

  • Raids will always give 3,000 Stardust and at least 1 Rare Candy


  • "Several actions at Gyms will yield bonuses, including a 2x Badge multiplier"

    • Badge rewards from Gyms will be doubled

    • "Spinning the Photo Disc at Gyms will also yield more items!"




Pokémon GO has debuted a new event to kick off the month of May, and it will focus on an often-overlooked type.

The Battle Showdown event will, in addition to other perks, enhance the number of fighting-type Pokémon that spawn over the whole map during the course of the next two weeks, until May 14. You will always get 3,000 stardust for completing any raid, 2x XP for gym and raid bouts, and at least one rare sweet.

Also, gyms are receiving momentary bonuses. Your favorite gyms will provide you more perks thanks to a 2x badge multiplier, while spinning gyms will reward you with additional goodies. There is no information on what unique boxes may be offered for sale on this occasion, but I would be surprised if there weren't any.

What about the combatants who will attend? These are the fighting types—or part-fighting types—that you could see appear across three generations. That would be my assumption, however I'm not sure whether they are more likely to hatch from eggs as well:



    • Mankey

    • Primeape

    • Machop

    • Machoke

    • Machamp




Battle Showdown 2018 event


  • Hitmonlee

  • Hitmonchan

  • Tyrogue

  • Hitmontop

  • Makuhita

  • Hariyama


I would certainly attempt to get some high IV variants of the fighting types Machamps and Hariyama, either in the wild or via evolutions, even if they aren't the most glamorous in Pokémon GO. These Pokémon may be very helpful against some raid monsters.

As there haven't been many Pokémon GO events that concentrate so heavily on pure gym and raid benefits, this one stands out from the others. Even with the most recent update many months ago that significantly altered them from launch, I still believe the overall gym idea needs some updating. Gyms have been somewhat left behind in the Pokémon GO meta, with their benefits not really keeping up with other activities in the game. That is still not at the proper level.

I contend that Pokémon GO's whole fighting system isn't either. While I don't anticipate a return to turn-based fighting, I do believe that they should concentrate on drastically improving combat in this game since it is one of its weaker aspects, even if it is now adequate. I truly do hope they would go back to the drawing board for combat. It has so much potential, and I hope they keep working to make it better.

Prepare to acquire those fighting types because the Battle Showdown event begins tonight at 1 PM PDT.

Dewgong #087

Image
Biology Dewgong is a pure white, fluffy pinniped Pokémon. In icy weather, its fur makes it practically inconspicuous. It has two black eyes, a black nose, and two tusks that protrude from its upper jaw. It features a sleek body, two front flippers, and a long, flowing tail. Even in very cold and ice-packed waters, its tail permits it to swim at rates of up to 8 knots. A pointed horn on top of its head helps it to cut through the thickest ice floes. It dwells on icebergs floating in freezing ocean waters. It thrives in cooler conditions, becoming more active as the temperature drops. It is absolutely unaffected by even the most harsh cold conditions because it stores thermal energy inside its body. It rests on severely cold ice or beneath shallow water throughout the day. However, as the temperature lowers at night, it transforms into a hunter and seeks for prey such as Wishiwashi. It sunbathes on the beach after eating. This elevates its body temperature and facilitates digestion.

Medicham #308

Image
Biology Medicham is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a yoga practitioner. It has a gray body with red and yellow adornments. A red headpiece with three bulb-like extensions covers the upper portion of its head: one on top and one on either side. The bulb on top is short on a female Medicham. Its large, focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position. Its legs appear to be covered with puffy, red pants that have a large yellow spot on the knees and yellow bands next to the hips. As Mega Medicham, its headpiece now resembles a white turban with a yellow stone in the center. The red extension in the back is retained, and there are five white extensions on the turban, three extending from the stone and one on either side of its head. There is now a gold band on each wrist and additional gold bands around its waist. Several blue, teardrop-shaped decorations hang from the lowest hip band. Using its enhanced wi
