Pokemon Go Friendship Challenge Guide

The third week of challenges is available in anticipation of the Pokemon Go Fest 2020. Last week, we saw the introduction of Team Rocket balloons, where Trainers face off against grunts, decoys, and leaders and rescue Pokemon. Our Pokemon Go Friendship Challenge guide provides you with everything you need to know regarding the tasks and rewards.

There are a total of three different Challenge stages for this event, followed by one Elite Challenge. These challenges are only available between the dates of July 17 and July 22, 2020. Completing these challenges grants trainers special rewards and unlocks new Pokemon to show up during the Go Fest.
