All Pokémon Go Battle Day: Clay Timed Research tasks, rewards, and event bonuses

The next Pokémon Go Battle League special event is here, with Battle Day: Clay setting the stage for some new changes coming to the PvP mode in July. Players who participate in this event will have access to free and paid Timed Research designed to reward them for battling in honor of Driftveil City Gym Leader, Clay. 

The changes going live for the GBL with this event, which runs on July 1, are great for players who grind the ranks, such as increasing the Stardust rewards for players on the basic reward track and guaranteeing Rare Candy or Rare Candy XL for players after taking a second win in a set—depending on your Trainer Level. But those will likely only appeal to anyone who spends extended time on Pokémon Go’s PvP. 

To try and get players interested in the format, Niantic is offering event-exclusive Timed Research and several event bonuses that will give players some nice rewards for participating in just a handful of GBL matches. Here is everything you need to know about all of the special content included during this event so you can get yourself a replica of Clay’s cowboy hat.
