Pokémon GO is raising the stakes in competitive play by letting players earn Championship Points through the GO Battle League Leaderboard Challenge when the next season begins March 3 at 1 p.m. PST. The update ties leaderboard performance directly into the Pokémon Championship Series, giving top battlers a clearer path toward live events. It is a notable shift that rewards long-term consistency, not just one-off tournament results. For dedicated GO Battle League players, the change adds real incentive to push rankings every season. As competitive Pokémon GO continues to evolve, this move helps bridge in-game success with the broader esports scene.
