The world of Go Battle League (GBL) is getting a refresh with season 16, happening from September 1st to December 2nd, 2023. This time around, there are cool new moves for Pokemon that are going to make battles even more interesting.
Get ready for an exciting event! The Go Battle Weekend is back on October 7th and 8th, 2023, in your local time. During these days, trainers can play 20 sets of GBL battles, which adds up to a total of 100 battles. It's a chance for trainers to show off their skills and strategy in battles that get the heart pumping.
As you move up the ranks in GBL, you get awesome rewards. When you reach rank 1, you'll get Bisharp, a great Pokemon for the Ultra League battles. At rank 6, trainers will be rewarded with Carbink, a new Pokemon that's really strong for battles in the Great League because it's good at defending itself.
If you're aiming high and reach the ranks of Ace, Veteran, or Expert, there are some fantastic rewards waiting for you. You'll get special dragon-type Pokemon like Goomy, Gible, and Jangmo-0, one after the other. And if you make it all the way to the rank of Legend, you'll be rewarded with Pikachu Libre, a truly special prize.
