Coinciding with GO Fest in Chicago, certain areas in the world have been given challenges to complete, and will be rewarded. For the second Global Challenge, each region, along with GO Fest participants, have been tasked with completing a certain amount of Research Tasks. Each region also has a specific bonus for completing their task.
Once the challenge is completed, the respective bonuses will be unlocked starting July 16, lasting until July 23. If all challenges around the world are completed, on July 21 players will be able to receive five Raid Passes when they spin a Gym. Zapdos will also make a return to Raid Battles, now knowing the Fast Attack Thunder Shock. There is also the chance that players may encounter a Shiny Zapdos.
Quite the shock, eh?
