The Delightful Days season of the Go Battle League in Pokémon Go kicks off June 3rd, and it’s shaping up to be anything but quiet. With an all-new seasonal format running through September 2nd, you’re looking at 13 weeks of rotating cups, rare Pokémon encounters, and some serious Stardust incentives for battlers ready to grind. 

Rank resets and rewards drop on day one on the Go Battle League: Delightful Days, and the schedule wastes no time, opening with Great League and Sunshine Cup before cycling through Ultra, Master, and several specialty formats.

Here’s a list of redeemable Pokémon Go codes for a bunch of freebies!

Expect a heavy focus on Stardust, with 4x Stardust from win rewards returning across multiple weeks, and again during special three-league rotation periods throughout the season.

The spotlight event, Go Battle Weekend: Delightful Days, runs August 15th-17th and cranks things up even further with 100 daily battles, a wide reward pool, and a limited-time Timed Research that includes exclusive avatar items inspired by a top Battle Tower trainer.

On the reward side, high-rank battlers can chase encounters with Frigibax, Morpeko, Dreepy, and a shot at Pikachu Libre. Mienfoo, Vullaby, and others round out the encounter pool, with Shiny chances in play for a handful of key species. On top of that, a free Timed Research Pass tracks victories through the season, granting rewards like Elite TMs and Rare Candy XL at 400 and 500 wins.

The Cup lineup includes returning favourites like Sunshine and Fossil Cup, along with regional specialties like the Hisui Cup and the CP-capped Element Cup: Little Edition. Each brings its own restrictions on CP and typing, keeping the meta fresh and forcing you to stay sharp week to week.
