The 2022 Pokémon World Championships is underway in London, which means the tie-in Pokémon Go event is also live, bringing several pieces of new and returning content, including a special World Championships 2022 Pikachu.

The event will run from Aug. 18 to 23, meaning it will last slightly longer than the PWC. Players will have access to several rare Pokémon spawns, Special Moves available for certain Pokémon when they evolve, and the return of Zacian and Zamazenta to raids. 

Unfortunately for fans not in attendance, there will be some content locked to in-person areas surrounding ExCeL, namely a Collection Challenge and exclusive Field Research. None of this content will be available for global players, but they are really only missing out on a chance to get Throh, Sawk, and Bouffalant outside of their normal region-locked habitats. 

As for the global tie-in, players will have access for their own Field and Timed Resarch tasks, each giving plenty of rare encounters and rewards.

There is also a code available for players to redeem to grab a PWC t-shirt too if they watch the event live on Twitch or YouTube. 

But, if you are more focused on the actual gameplay of the event, here are all of the Pokemon research tasks and rewards you can get during the event.
