As the Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go approaches its epic conclusion, the spotlight shines on the Community Day Classic featuring the powerhouse, Machop.

For those eager to dive deeper into the event, a Community Day exclusive Special Research story will be available for $1.99. This ticket offers a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, bonus Machop encounters, and three Machop with a Seasonal Special Background.
