The Global Challenge will begin on April 21st and last through the 23rd. The reward is only available to players that are linked to Pokemon Home, and will be accompanied by 10,000 League Points.

There, they'll find an option named "Battle Stadium. After selecting that option, they must select "Online Competitions" and then "Official Competitions." The competition will have three different divisions, based on when the player was born. Players born in or after 2011 will be in the Junior Division, players born between 2007 and 2010 will be eligible for the Senior Division, and players born before 2006 will be in the Masters Division. More information can be found at the official website right here.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet released exclusively on Nintendo Switch in late 2022. The ninth Pokemon generation offered several major changes to the formula seen in previous games. Players were introduced to the franchise's first open world, known as the Paldea region. The game also added a new mechanic known as Terastallization, which allows a Pokemon to change its type if the player's Tera Orb is charged. Finally, Scarlet and Violet also introduced a number of new Pokemon, including new favorites like Sprigatito, Maushold, and Lechonk. New DLC for the game has been announced, and is set to release in two waves later this year.
