Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
Raging Battles field research tasks in Pokémon Go
Event-exclusive field research tasks can be earned by spinning PokéStops during the Raging Battles event in Pokémon Go. While these tasks can be saved in your field research collection and completed after the event ends, we recommend completing some during the event itself as the Pokémon encounters you earn can help you complete the above Collection Challenges.
Here are the Raging Battles field research tasks in Pokémon Go:
- Catch 3 Fighting-type Pokémon reward - x5 Revives or x5 Hyper Potions
- Power up Pokémon 5 times reward - Mankey encounter

Go Battle Week Timeless Travels in Pokémon Go explained
The Go Battle Week: Timeless Travels event is running alongside Raging Battles in Pokémon Go until Wednesday 24th January at 8pm (local time).
The Great League, Ultra League and Master League are all running during this event, alongside two bonuses.
The first is x4 Stardust from win rewards. Though this does not include the end-of-set rewards nor will it stack with the other Go Battle League Stardust bonus running during this event.
Secondly, the maximum number of battle sets you can play each day has been increased to 10. This means you can complete a total of 50 battles per day (between 12am to 11:59pm local time).
Finally, there are two timed research quests you can complete - one free, one pay-to-play. One of the rewards for the free timed research quest is the Ingo-Style Hat for your avatar.
The pay-to-play timed research quest costs $1, or the equivalent pricing tier in your region. Its rewards include Stardust, Rare Candy and one Star Piece. Keep in mind that you do need to complete this quest by Wednesday 24th January at 8pm (local time) to earn all of its rewards.
Everything you need to know about the Raging Battles event in Pokémon Go
There are two bonuses running throughout the Raging Battles event in Pokémon Go until Wednesday 24th January at 8pm (local time). The first is the most useful as it sees Throh and Sawk, typically regionally exclusive Pokémon, being available worldwide for the duration of the event. If one or both of these Pokémon are missing from your Pokédex, make sure you catch them during this event. Who knows when they'll next be available globally...
Team Rocket balloons are also appearing more frequently in the sky, while, on the ground, Team Rocket will be invading more PokéStops throughout the event.
Raging Battles marks the debut of Annihilape - the evolution of Primeape from Gen 9 - in Pokémon Go. If you'd like help adding this Pokémon to your Pokédex, check out our how to get Annihilape in Pokémon Go guide.
The following Pokémon are appearing more frequently in the wild during the Raging Battles event:
- Mankey
- Machop
- Lickitung
- Gligar
- Sableye
- Throh
- Sawk
- Scraggy
Again, Throh and Sawk are appearing globally.
You can also battle the below Pokémon in raids during the Raging Battles event:
One Star | Three Star | Five Star | Mega |
---|---|---|---|
Snubbull | Primeape | Thundurus Therian Forme (until 10am on Wednesday 24th January) | Mega Medicham (until 10am on Wednesday 24th January) |
Houndour | Gyarados | Landorus Therian Forme (from 10am on Wednesday 24th January) | Mega Steelix (from 10am on Wednesday 24th January) |
Pancham | Zweilous | ||
Mareanie |
Finally, there is a pay-to-play timed research quest for the Raging Battle event - not to be confused with one available for the Go Battle Week: Timeless Travels event. This quest costs £1.99, $2, or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency, and will reward you with three Rare Candies, one Rocket Radar, Stardust and two Premium Battle Passes.
Keep in mind that, if you do purchase this quest, you must complete it and unlock the rewards before Wednesday 24th January at 8pm (local time).
Hope you enjoy the Raging Battles event!
