This will be a shorter event as we work our way to closing out August 2024, but it should be a significant one as there are multiple Timed Research quests to unlock. These occur during the Pokémon World Championships competition, starting on Aug. 16, with a new one each day of the event’s broadcast. These are only available for a limited time, and you’ll want to grab them during the Pokémon Go World Championships 2024 event.
