Niantic is getting used to dropping big events with plenty of research available at different levels, and Battle Week: Raging Battles follows that trend. With free and paid Timed Research to complete, along with the usual Field Research, get ready to spend your weekend battling.
Raging Battles will be live from Jan. 19 to 24 at 8pm local time and was going to have more content included as a paid ticket. Niantic encountered some unknown issues, however, and removed that additional paid research from the event entirely. There is still a paid option, though it is more generalized for non-Battle League content. If you want to get in on the GBL action, you can get an exclusive avatar item based on Subway Boss Ingo’s classic conductor hat.
During this event you can take advantage of boosted Stardust and GBL set offerings to challenge other players or just focus on catching some of the featured Pokémon. This is a great chance to evolve a Primeape into Annihilape, which is making its debut as part of this event.
