GO Battle League Timed Research Pass

For our most dedicated battlers, a pass to access battle-themed Timed Research will be available in the in-game shop at no cost once GO Battle League: Timeless Travels begins.

This Timed Research will keep track of your victories throughout the Season. Each research page will require 100 wins to complete, and doing so will reward you with a small amount of Stardust and items, such as an Elite Fast TM (400 wins) and an Elite Charged TM (500 wins). Keep at it throughout the Season to see how far you can get!

Avatar items and other rewards

Trainers will be able to earn the following avatar items, which are all inspired by Ingo, warden of the Pearl Clan, from the Pokémon Legends: Arceus game for the Nintendo Switch!

  • At Ace rank, you’ll receive the Ingo-Style Hat and Ingo-Style Shoes.
  • At Veteran rank, you’ll receive the Ingo-Style Pants.
  • At Expert rank, you’ll receive the Ingo-Style Shirt.
