Pokémon Go Twitch drop times for 2024 Pokémon World Championships codes

Pokémon Go Twitch drops are available for those watching this year’s Pokémon World Championships. Alongside the in-game “2024 Pokémon World Championships” event, watching the Pokémon Go side of the competition on Twitch will grant codes rewarding Timed Research with encounters with both meta and event-specific Pokémon, as well as an in-game avatar T-shirt. The snag is the various rewards all have their own unique sources — and so this guide explains how to get all Twitch codes over the course of the weekend, and the times you need to tune in for to claim them. How to get Pokémon World Championship Twitch drops There are three different types of rewards available during the Pokémon World Championships. Official Twitch drop codes [Image: https://platform.polygon.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/pokemon-go-twitch-drops-world-championships.jpg?quality=90&strip=all] There are two Twitch drops up for grabs by watching the official Pokémon World Championship streams over the course of the competition. To take part, you must: - Connect your Pokémon Trainer Club account to Twitch by visiting the official Pokémon website. - Watch 30 minutes of the Pokémon Go stream during on day one and/or day two (see later in the guide for the start times). - Visit your Twitch drops inventory to confirm the drop. - Return to the rewards area of the official Pokemon site to get the code. - Redeem the code on the Pokémon Go code redemption site. To clarify, there are two Twitch drops up for grabs from the official stream — the first (with a Sableye encounter Timed Research) on the Friday, and the second (with branching Timed Research) on the Saturday. Partner co-stream drop codes [Image: https://platform.polygon.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/pokemon-world-championships-partner-co-stream.png?quality=90&strip=all] As well as two Timed Research codes from official streams, you can also claim a code with an additional Timed Research (rewarding a snorkel event costumed Pikachu encounter) by watching a partnered co-stream for 30 minutes over the course of the three day competition. (For Pokémon TCG Live players, a Spheal Appeal deck box, coin, and card sleeves are also up for grabs if you watch for an entire 60 minutes.) Confirmed co-streamers include: * Auralaur67 * BuzzerBob * CurlieQ * Digipop * ElectriKeely * Glowl * JuiceProphet * Jujube * ONE_shot_GURL * PKMNcast * PKSparkxx * Sunnie Note that the same account linking process as the official Twitch streaming steps still applies — so make sure you do that, then check your Twitch drop inventory to get the code.

It rewards an in-game T-shirt for your avatar. Those attending the competition in-person can also get an exclusive version through a scavenger hunt. Update (Aug. 16, 7 p.m. ET): The code is A6NEWU63K9AU8 (via Leekduck on X). Note it’s possible this may expire over the course of the day — if so, tune into the broadcast, or see LeekDuck’s latest posts, for any other additional codes that are released you can redeem.
