Players will be able to battle the winning trainers in the game.
Pokemon Go Tour: Johto will take place on February 26, 2022. During the event, players will be able to battle trainers that are designed to look like the avatars of other real people who play Pokemon Go (though the game will control them during battles). Players will be able to battle these trainers even if they don’t purchase a ticket for the Pokemon Go Tour: Johto event. (You can learn more about the Pokemon Go Tour: Johto event in our previous coverage.)
For a limited time, players can enter the Pokemon Go Gym Trainer Contest for a chance to have their avatar featured as one of the Gym trainer characters during the Pokemon Go Tour: Johto event.
This contest will run from now until February 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, shared the contest’s entry requirements on the game’s website:
“We’ll be holding a contest to decide which Trainers will appear as in-game characters during the event. To enter, simply post your entry on Twitter by Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. PST (GMT −8) and include the following elements.
- A screenshot of your Trainer profile that includes your nickname and shows off your avatar.
- Which type of team you’re submitting: Normal, Fighting, Flying, Bug, Ghost, Ice, Dragon, or Steel. All Pokémon you pick should be the same type.
- A list of three Pokémon that would make up your team. These Pokémon must have been originally discovered in Kanto or Johto. Ditto, Legendary Pokémon, and Mythical Pokémon are not allowed.
- The hashtag #PokemonGOTourContest.”
