But back to the 2024 World Championship event itself, let’s start with the two bonuses that will be running throughout the event. First of all, there’s a Team Rocket bonus again, as a Charged TM lets you make a Shadow Pokémon forget about the Charged Attack Frustration. Second, you can make up to five Special Trades per day during the event. That makes a total of 25 Special Trades throughout the event – just remember that they’re split into five for each day.

The World Championships 2024 event will also see the release of shiny Mienfoo and its evolution Mienshao in Pokémon Go. However, some may say the more exciting news is the release of a new Pokémon costume – World Championships 2024 Pikachu. I’ll admit to being a little excited myself, as Pikachu got a full diver outfit instead of just a single flower or another party hat. Will I be desperately searching for the shiny version? Probably yes. It might be quite a task, though, as World Championship 2024 Pikachu can only be found through event-exclusive research tasks and in one-star raids.
