Pokemon Go Special Battle Showdown Event

Niantic has released yet another special event that we can drop our bucks on and it looks like more fun to be had and it's called the Battle Showdown Event!

What is the Special Battle Showdown event?

This latest Pokemon Go special event is dedicated to the Fighting type Pokémon and runs from...

May 1st, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. PST to May 14, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. PST.

During this special event, you can...

Earn 2x bonus experience for Gym Battles and Raid Battles.
Raid Battles will guarantee 3,000 Stardust + a minimum of 1 rare candy for raid that you win!
Earn a 2x Badge multiplier towards gym badges!
Spinning Gym PokéStops will get you more items than usual! (Which means we need to buy bigger bags!)

Also, we'll be seeing more Tyrogues coming out of eggs. Sigh. (No, not a fan, but whatever.)
