The arrival of the Pokémon GO 2022 World Championships brings players a brand new Timed Research quest to complete. The event is based on a real-life PvP tournament, which is why a lot of PvP-centric Pokémon will spawn in the wild. Taking place in London from August 18 to 23, the 2022 Pokémon World Championship has a special event with different bonuses, a Pikachu encounter, and Raid Bosses.
The latest Pokémon World Championships Timed Research quest also rewards players with a rare chance to get Elite Fast TMs and Elite Charged TMs.

To complete this Timed Research quest, players will need to battle the various trainer NPCs that appear at random PokéStops all over the Pokémon 2022 World Championships event. Somewhat similar to Team Rocket combatants, players will be confronted by these trainers while exploring the local area. The players' rewards for battling them are as follows:
Battle 1 Challenger: 10 Poké Balls
Battle 2 Challengers: 1 Fast TM
Battle 3 Challengers: 10 Great Balls
Battle 4 Challengers: 1 Charged TM
Battle 5 Challengers: 10 Ultra Balls
Rewards: Pikachu (World Championships 2022 outfit) encounter, 1 Elite Fast TM, 1 Elite Charged TM
The rewards are earned after completing all the tasks. The reward of potentially capturing Pikachu might sound quite tempting to some costume collectors. However, for players aiming to compete in the Pokémon GO Battle League, the Elite Fast and Charged TMs will be of great value.
