One thing that is true for all Pokemon games is that they all have a competitive scene, and Pokemon GO is no exception to that. In fact, ever since its launch in 2016, the game has attracted players from all over the world to compete in the Pokemon World Championship.

The championship will be happening in Honolulu, Hawaii from August 16-18, 2024. The competition will see who in the Pokemon GO community is the Pokemon Master, and to celebrate, the game will be having Battle Week.

Battle Week is only lasting from Friday, August 16, 2024 at 12:00 am local time until Tuesday, August 20, 2024 at 11:59 pm local time.
