In Pokémon GO you can play the GO Battle Day today, Saturday, January 8, 2022. We will show you what the PvP event brings and which Pokémon are worth it here on MeinMMO.
When does the GO Battle Day run? The GO Battle Day takes place on Saturday, January 8, 2022, from 00:00 to 23:59 local time. So you can use the whole day to battle through the PvP league.
What kind of event is this? The focus of the GO Battle Day is the PvP league of Pokémon GO. Today, you can battle 20 sets, each consisting of 5 matches. Normally, only 5 are possible per day.
In total, you can battle 100 times against other players in the league today. A good opportunity to improve your rank in the league. But even for players who usually do not participate in the league, the battle day can be worthwhile.
4 times more Stardust in Pokémon GO
This bonus is available: You will receive 4 times as much Stardust today as a battle reward. Important: This only applies to individual battle rewards, not the set rewards.
Nevertheless, you can rake in a lot of Stardust if you finish some battles today. Stardust is one of the most important resources in the game: you need it, for example, to level up your Pokémon or unlock new moves for your monsters.
Which leagues are available? Today, you can compete in the Master League or the Master League Classic. The requirements are as follows:
- Master League: Unlimited max CP
- Master League Classic: Also unlimited CP, but limited Pokémon selection without XL candies
So you need the strongest monsters possible to succeed in the battles. We will show you some monsters that might be worth it here.
Which Pokémon are worth it in the Master League?
Basically, it’s worth using monsters in the Master League that you have leveled up and ideally have two charge moves to cover a wider field.
Master League: In the Master League, you can choose from the best and use monsters that are leveled up as high as possible.
According to the site PvPoke, which creates PvP rankings for Pokémon GO based on simulations, the following 10 monsters are the most useful if you have strong variants of them (via PvPoke):
- Melmetal with Thunder Shock, Superpower and Rock Slide
- Lugia with Dragon Tail, Sky Attack and Air Slash
