Pokemon Go GBL Weekend is perfect farm for these two essential items

As a seasoned gamer with decades of Pokémon adventures under my belt, I must say, the upcoming Pokémon Go Battle Weekend event, Shared Skies, has me more excited than a Pikachu at a thunderstorm! The opportunity to amass Stardust and Rare Candies like never before through the ‘Tanking’ method is simply irresistible.


As the Pokemon Go Battle Weekend event called “Shared Skies” approaches, trainers are given an excellent chance to gather a large amount of Stardust and Rare Candies, ensuring they finish the season with panache.

Over a span of nearly five days, participants in player-versus-player games can employ the commonly used ‘tanking’ strategy to amass these resources effortlessly. This method involves intentionally losing all twenty Go Battle League (GBL) sets during the initial three days to lower your rank, which can even involve forfeiting matches.

By the fourth day of the event, using the GBL algorithm, fans who’ve lost several battles can expect less challenging opponents. Swapping between winning and losing matches aids in accumulating valuable items.

Starting from now until September 4, 2024, continuously performing this action daily will yield up to 18 Rare Candies and a significant amount of Stardust each day. Additionally, achieving victories during this period will boost your GBL Rank, granting you the exclusive Elite Fast Technical Machine (TM) and Elite Charged TM.

Using this approach, Reddit user ‘Entire_Pineapple4732’ endorsed its tranquility in a post, noting that it stands out as an exception even among critics who frequently label Gym Battle League (GBL) as stressful within the competitive PvP scene.

In contrast to the strategic depth found in mainline games such as Scarlet and Violet, Pokemon Go’s GBL (Gym Leader Battle) offers limited strategy options due to the absence of Abilities and Held Items. As a result, players primarily rely on switching their combatants at opportune moments, and can find themselves in disadvantageous situations if they encounter an unsuitable matchup.

Although trainers have repeatedly advocated for a refresh in Pokémon GO Battle League (GBL), a much-needed update still hasn’t appeared. Consequently, the strategy of intentionally losing games, or “tanking,” has become popular, even among seasoned players, particularly during Go Battle Weekend events.

In the comments area, users referred to it as a “well-thought-out scheme” and shared their tactics. As one user described: “Win numerous matches, ideally with level 1 rare Pokémon. Aim for an ELO (Elo rating) of around 300-400. At this level, most players are ‘tankers.’ We don’t play seriously, so you won’t need to either.”

A participant suggested: “Join the competition. Field a weak cp squad that will lose swiftly.” The Shared Skies Go Battle Weekend takes place from Friday, August 16, at midnight until Tuesday, August 20, 2024, at 11:59 PM (in your local time zone).

With each approaching Season, enthusiasts eagerly anticipate updates from Niantic, with the hope that they’ll revitalize the Go Battle League and make it even more captivating.

Apart from participating in the Pokemon Go Battle League contests, you have an opportunity to engage with thrilling Raid battles against powerful creatures like Xerneas and Mega Salamence as well.
