Pok?mon Go is once again a featured title at the Pok?mon World Championships, which means Niantic is helping players celebrate with a special event and more bonuses.
The 2023 Pok?mon World Championships Celebration event will run from Aug. 11 to 15, bringing increased spawns for specific Pok?mon, the introduction of World Championships Jersey Pikachu, and a debut for Passimian.
Shiny Scraggy and Scrafty will also be available for the first time, and if you catch certain species like Machamp, Dewgong, Walrein, and Obstagoon during the event they will know special moves typically not available when you evolve or catch them.
There are actually two different sets of Timed Research tasks players can complete during this event too. One is provided for free to all players, while the other must be unlocked through the use of a code shared during the Pok?mon Go World Championship livestream.

How to unlock the 2023 Pok?mon World Championships exclusive TImed Research codes in Pok?mon Go
Along with that free Timed Research that will be available in Pok?mon Go right from the event’s start, Niantic is also tying a second set of research to the livestream to try and incentivize players to stop by and watch some Worlds action.
During the Pok?mon Go World Championships livestream, which runs from Aug. 10 to 12 depending on your timezone, you just need to connect your Twitch account and watch a total of 30 minutes each day to get a code for two separate Timed Research pages.
First, make sure you are following the official Pok?mon Go Twitch account and tuning in at some point during the day one or day two event broadcasts. Those start at 7pm CT on Aug. 10 and 11 respectively.
From there, a panel should be available underneath the Twitch stream and it will prompt you to share your Twitch ID so the third-party extension can track your watch time. Enabling this will track your progress via a 30-minute timer, but be aware minimizing or closing the stream will interfere with the countdown.

Once you successfully watch the stream for 30 minutes you will see a prompt to claim a code, which you can then redeem in Pok?mon Go to get access to that day’s Timed Research. Rinse and repeat for day two!
