Pokemon GO‘s Lunar New Year celebration is accompanied by a daunting Global Challenge that boasts Dragons Unleashed event-themed rewards. Here is everything we know about the challenge, including what players can expect to unlock once it’s completed.
What is a Global Challenge in Pokemon GO?
A Global Challenge in Pokemon GO is an opportunity for all trainers worldwide to collaborate and work toward a unified goal. Whether it be walking a certain distance or catching a certain number of Pokemon, it automatically tracks your progress and combines it with the collective progress of every player around the world.
Global Challenges are usually reserved for Pokemon GO’s larger events (think GO Tours and GO Fest). But every once in a while, they will crop up during smaller events, encouraging players to participate in pursuit of some tantalizing rewards.
What is the Pokemon GO Dragons Unleashed Global Challenge?
From February 5 at 10 AM local time until February 11 at 8 PM local time, Pokemon GO players must make 1,000,000,000 Nice Throws to complete the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed Challenge.
That may sound like an impossible task, but as of the first two hours of the event, players have already thrown 300,000,000 Nice Throws.
