Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Challengers in the World Championships 2022 event in Pokemon GO including how to beat them and what Pokemon they use!<\/p>\n
Battling is a major part of Pokemon GO and the new World Championships event is making it the main focus. <\/p>\n
Not only do the new wild Pokemon spawns include Pokemon you can evolve into powerful battling \u2018Mon, but there are also plenty of Research Tasks for players to complete that involve battling. <\/p>\n
And there are even more battles to be had, thanks to Challengers appearing at PokeStops during the World Championships event. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about them!<\/p>\nNiantic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhat Are Challengers in Pokemon GO?<\/h2>\n Challengers are NPC Pokemon trainers that you can encounter at PokeStops during the World Championships event. <\/p>\n
There are 6 different kinds of Challengers, each with a different battle team of Pokemon. It is random which one you will encounter when you spin a PokeStop. <\/p>\n
Make sure to visit some Gyms too though. There are plenty of new Raid Bosses during the Pokemon World Championships event. <\/p>\nNiantic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHow to Battle Challengers in Pokemon GO<\/h3>\n To battle a Challenger, you will need to go up to a PokeStop where a Challenger is and spin it. After you have spun the PokeStop the Challenger will ask to battle you. <\/p>\n
Battling and defeating Challengers is very important as they are linked to a lot of the Research during the World Championships event. <\/p>\n
You need to battle Challengers to complete the 2022 World Championships Timed Research. What\u2019s more, one of the limited-time Field Research Tasks also asks players to battle a Challenger. <\/p>\n
Completing the Field Research Task that asks you to battle a Challenger gives you an encounter with the new costumed Pikachu too!<\/p>\n
Although, this is just one of the many ways to get a World Championships 2022 Pikachu in Pokemon GO.<\/p>\nNiantic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAll Challenger Battle Teams <\/h3>\n Every Challenger has a team of 3 Pokemon that they will use to battle you. You can narrow down which Pokemon a Challenger will use by their name, although there are always a couple of options for each position in their battle team<\/p>\n
These are all of the Challengers and which Pokemon they will use in battle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nChallenger <\/strong><\/td>\nPokemon 1<\/strong><\/td>\nPokemon 2<\/strong><\/td>\nPokemon 3<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nNovice Challenger<\/strong><\/td>\nTrevenant or Sableye<\/td>\n Azumarill or Alolan Ninetales<\/td>\n Galarian Stunfisk or Obstagoon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nConfident Challenger<\/strong><\/td>\nSwampert, Scrafty, Diggersby or Walrein<\/td>\n Walrein, Nidoqueen or Mandibuzz<\/td>\n Deoxys (Defense) or Cresselia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nSlick Challenger<\/strong><\/td>\nWalrein or Azumarill<\/td>\n Medicham<\/td>\n Registeel or Trevenant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nEager Challenger<\/strong><\/td>\nNidoqueen or Medicham<\/td>\n Sabeleye<\/td>\n Swampert or Walrein<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAmbitious Challenger<\/strong><\/td>\nSwampert, Araquanid, or Obstagoon<\/td>\n Registeel, Walrein, or Nidoqueen<\/td>\n Talonflame, Sableye Greedent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nEccentric Challenger<\/strong><\/td>\nSabeleye or Sirfetch\u2019d<\/td>\n Lickitung or Walrein<\/td>\n Talonflame or Registeel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\nWe will update this list if players find any more Pokemon that Challengers can use.<\/p>\n
