How can I maximize my rewards during the Triumph Together event

To maximize your rewards during the Pokémon GO Triumph Together event, follow these key strategies:

Participate actively in all three Global Challenges, as completing each unlocks powerful bonuses and Timed Research quests for everyone, regardless of team affiliation.
Focus first on the Valor challenge by defeating 75 million Team GO Rocket members while taking advantage of their increased appearances at PokéStops and balloons to quickly rack up encounters and rewards like 2× XP for spinning PokéStops and a special Ponyta encounter.
For the Instinct challenge, hatch 20 million eggs, benefiting from the halved egg hatch distance during the event and the chance to hatch exclusive Pokémon from 7 km eggs such as party hat Grimer and visor Slakoth. This challenge unlocks double Stardust from egg hatches and a Timed Research with Elekid.
Complete 35 million Field Research tasks for the Mystic challenge to unlock event-themed research, guaranteed Candy XL when evolving Pokémon, and a Lapras encounter. This challenge also grants 2× Candy XL bonuses for evolving.
Consider purchasing the $5 paid Timed Research for premium rewards including incubators, Stardust, XP, Premium Passes, and encounters with team-themed Pokémon like Ponyta, Elekid, and Lapras. This research is valuable for both rewards and rare shiny hunting opportunities.
Stay consistent throughout the event to ensure you benefit from all unlocked bonuses and research tasks as the challenges progress sequentially from Valor to Instinct to Mystic.

By coordinating your efforts across these challenges and leveraging the event bonuses, you can maximize your Stardust, XP, rare Pokémon encounters, and valuable items during Triumph Together.

What are the most efficient ways to complete each team challenge quickly

To complete each team challenge in Pokémon GO’s Triumph Together event quickly and efficiently, focus on these tailored approaches for each challenge:

Valor Challenge (Defeat 75 million Team GO Rocket members):

Prioritize battling Team GO Rocket at PokéStops and balloons, which appear more frequently during the event. This allows rapid accumulation of defeats.
Use strong counters and optimized Pokémon teams to quickly win battles, minimizing time spent per encounter.
Coordinate with local players or use online groups to share locations with high Rocket activity for faster battles.

Instinct Challenge (Hatch 20 million eggs):

Take advantage of the halved egg hatch distance during the event to hatch eggs faster.
Use multiple incubators simultaneously, especially the infinite and purchased ones, to maximize egg hatching throughput.
Focus on walking in places where you can consistently cover distance (e.g., parks, tracks) and use Adventure Sync to count steps even when the app is closed.
Collect and prioritize 7 km eggs for exclusive Pokémon and event bonuses.

Mystic Challenge (Complete 35 million Field Research tasks):

Spin as many PokéStops as possible to obtain Field Research tasks quickly.
Complete easier tasks first to rapidly clear them and make room for new ones.
Coordinate with friends or local players to exchange tips on efficient task completion.
Use items like Incense and Lures to increase Pokémon encounters, which often fulfill Field Research objectives.

By focusing on these efficient tactics-leveraging event bonuses, using multiple incubators, optimizing battle teams, and maximizing PokéStop spins-you can help your team complete their challenge faster and unlock rewards sooner.
