- Join the Strength in Numbers event from May 20-22
- Send as many Gifts as possible to friends
- Special Research tickets for Community Day Classic are giftable too
Pokémon Go's Might and Mastery season is building toward its climax, with Niantic emphasizing teamwork. From May 20-22, the Strength in Numbers Global Challenge encourages trainers to exchange Gifts at unprecedented levels.
During this period, you can open up to 50 Gifts daily—boosting your Stardust, items, and friendship levels while helping the worldwide community unlock an exclusive reward: giftable Special Research tickets for the Machop Community Day Classic.
If successful, starting May 23 you can send these Machop Special Research tickets to Great Friends. Tickets can be gifted directly from the shop without purchasing yours first—with a generous cap of 20 tickets givable per trainer daily.

The excitement culminates in the Machop Community Day on May 24 (2-5 PM local time), featuring increased spawns and returning Shiny variants—ideal for collectors or anyone aiming to strengthen their Fighting-type roster.
