In Pokémon GO you can compete against other trainers in the battle league. We’ll show you why it’s really worth it.
What is Battle League? In the Battle League in Pokémon GO you can compete against other trainers from all over the world. There are 3 different areas in which you can compete.
When you compete in the Battle League, you fight in so-called Battle Sets. A fight set, of which you can fight on day 4, consists of 5 fights each. Depending on how many of these 5 battles you win, you will receive different rewards at the end of the set. And these rewards are why it’s worth competing in the Battle League, even if it might not be your favorite part of the game.
If you have problems surviving in the combat league, take a look at what tips 3 professionals give for the combat league.

Stardust, items and even legendary Pokémon as rewards
How do I get stardust in Battle League? The first reward you always receive in the Battle League is Stardust. Even if you don’t win any of the 5 battles, you will receive stardust at the end of the battle set. You will receive additional stardust if you win a battle and an additional bonus if you win all 5 battles in the set.
How can I get Legendary Pokémon in Battle League? Once you have reached level 20 in the Battle League, you can also receive legendary Pokémon as a reward. If you win 3 battles in a battle set, you will be rewarded with an encounter with a Pokémon. Which one is chosen at random from a specific selection.
There is also the possibility of encountering a legendary Pokémon. This is always one that is currently available in 5* raids in the game.
What items can I get in the Battle League? If you get 2 victories in a battle set, you will receive items as a reward. These can be development stones, instant or charged TMs and even between 1 and 3 special candies. These in particular will be of interest to most people as they are rare and difficult to obtain.
If you have even achieved 4 victories in a battle set, you will also receive 3 guaranteed special candies. So if you have 4 victories in a battle set and some luck with the items, you can get up to 6 special candies in a single battle set.
There will be a battle day in Pokémon GO next Saturday, February 10, 2024 from 12:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. On this day, you can play 20 battle sets in the Battle League instead of the usual 5. Stardust rewards will also be quadrupled. This does not apply to the stardust you receive from completing a battle set, but does apply to all rewards for victories.
