GO Battle Day “Viktor” – Start, Ablauf & Boni
When does the event take place? The battle day starts on Saturday, March 25, 2023, at 00:00 local time and will be active until 23:59 on the same day. You have a whole day to take advantage of the event.
How does the battle day work? Normally, you have 5 battle sets with 5 battles each available per day. That will be different for the GO battle day. On this day, you can complete up to 20 battle sets and thus fight 100 battles.
Only the Hyper League and the Mountain Cup edition of the Super League will be active during this time. In this, you may only use Ice, Ground, Rock, and Steel Pokémon up to 1,500 CP, with the exception of Swampert. In the Hyper League, you can use Pokémon up to a limit of 2,500 CP as usual.
Which monsters are particularly suitable for the battles, we have summarized for you here.
What bonuses are there? For the battle day, you can also look forward to one or another bonus. Since the event revolves around Viktor, a gym leader from the main games Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, you can secure a corresponding avatar item. According to the blog of Pokémon GO, additional bonuses await you:
- Viktor’s gloves as an avatar item (those who have already secured this reward at rank 20 will not receive it again)
- Limited research on the topic “Battling”
- 4 times Stardust for a victory (not at the end of the battle set)
- 20 battle sets per day, so up to 100 battles
All content of the limited research for the battle day “Viktor”
What kind of research is this? During the GO battle day, you will receive a limited research in Pokémon GO that revolves around battling in the PvP league. You can find this in the today view of your game. You have until 23:59 on March 25, 2023, to complete it. Also, be sure to collect your rewards on time, otherwise they will forfeit.
The research includes only a board with 4 different quests for you to solve. The following tasks and rewards await you (via leekduck.com).

Is the battle day worth it? The event is particularly worthwhile to boost your Stardust bonus a bit. You need this to power up your monsters or to trade them with friends. Due to the many battle sets, it also offers newer players the opportunity to try out a bit in the GO battle league.
Through the limited research, you also have the opportunity to advance your XP progress, as you need the experience points on your way to level 50. Additionally, there is also a coveted Premium Charged TM.
