Every season, Pokemon GO holds a couple of Battle Day events, which encourage players to take part in the GO Battle League.
These events let players battle more and reward them for doing so with increased Stardust and Timed Research based around battling.
The first Pokemon GO Battle Day event of Season 10: Rising Heroes is taking place on March 25, 2023, from 12 AM to 11:59 PM local time.
This gives players 24 hours to battle as much as possible to earn all of the rewards from the Timed Research, including an avatar item based on Palmer from Pokemon Diamond & Pearl.
But before you find out all of the details about the event, you’ll need to know the best battle teams for both of the GO Battle League competitions that will be active during the Battle Day:
