This research will allow players to pick one of the Galar region's starter Pokemon as their partner and complete tasks to train and encourage its growth.

How to prepare for the GO All Out event

With so much to take in, there are a few things that you'll want to undertake ahead of September 3 to ensure you're ready to go when the GO All Out event begins. While trainers are free to prepare in any way they choose, these recommendations may be worth keeping in mind:

  • Collect as many Poke Balls as you can.
  • Stockpile extra incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) to help boost the featured wild spawns.
  • Stockpile extra standard lure modules to increase featured Pokemon spawns.
  • Collect blue or purple (super) incubators if at all possible to hatch event eggs as quickly as you can.
  • Stock up on Pinap Berries in particular, including Silver Pinap Berries, to double the candy gains from catching the newly arrived Pokemon.
  • Hold onto or stock up on lucky eggs ahead of the event and use them when it begins to increase the XP bonuses even further.
  • Place some of your Pokemon in gyms before the event begins to accrue PokeCoins. These will come in handy if you need to buy extra supplies from the in-game shop when the event begins.

Trainers are free to prepare for this event in their own way and to the best of their ability, but hopefully, the suggestions above can help you get ahead before September 3 rolls around.
