Announced by Niantic and patched in on Tuesday, March 5, the Pokemon Go Battle Showdown event is designed to instigate battles between yourself, team leaders, and other players.

Fighting-type Pokemon are also expected to spawn more frequently, with the likes of Mankey, Machop, and Meditite all turning up in greater numbers. Players will even have the chance to catch shiny versions of Mankey and Machop too, so keep your eyes peeled.
