Pokemon GO Battle Day Stardust (May 2023): Timed Researched tasks, event bonuses, active leagues, and more

The GO Battle Day Stardust is finally here for Pokemon GO trainers to dive into. The occasion brings along ticketed Timed Research tasks and a couple of event bonuses for players to grab and make use of. It also champions the in-game battling and the GO Battle League, with trainers being able to showcase their prowess through their beasts in a skirmish. The active leagues for the GO Battle Day Stardust were also revealed earlier.

The past week marked a number of notable events for Pokemon GO trainers. A Valorous Hero event began with the debuts of Mega Pinsir and Shiny Tapu Fini. The Regidrago Elite Raid's rerun was also held, with a special bundle goodie available for GMT+13 trainers.

On a sad note, The Silph Road announced a few days back that they were gradually shutting down operations. In its absence, Niantic is starting the Community Ambassador Program.
