These tie into the Go Battle League feature, and provide you with a list of the top 500 players statistically. The leaderboard hasn\u2019t gone live yet, but you\u2019ll be able to see it at the official <a href=\"https:\/\/pokemongolive.com\/post\/gobattleleague-leaderboards\" rel=\"noopener\">Pok\u00e9mon Go live<\/a> website as soon as the Go Battle League changes to Master League from Ultra.<\/p>\n<p>The leaderboard will detail the top 500 players\u2019 nicknames, teams, ranks, ratings, and the total number of battles played. This information is taken from the previous day\u2019s statistics, and will update between 20:00 and 22:00 UTC each day. If you want to make it on the leaderboard, you\u2019ll not only have to be a good enough battler, but you\u2019ll also have to ensure that you don\u2019t have an offensive nickname.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the launch of the Go Battle League leaderboards, Niantic is hosting a Go Battle Day event on Sunday, which features the Pok\u00e9mon Marill. The more battles you perform between 11:00 and 14:00 in your local time zone, the higher the chance you\u2019ll have of encountering the fan-favourite Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n<p>Marill will also appear as a guaranteed reward after your first and third wins, though those who own a premium battle pass will get Marill after every single win. All players will also receive twice the normal amount of stardust for catching Marill.<\/p>\n<p>Niantic is also extending the number of battles you can perform for the entirety of Sunday (in your local time). Rather than the five sets of battles you can typically perform, Niantic is increasing this to 20. That\u2019s a whopping 100 battles for those who want to participate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"responsive-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1rGtqqbR_pE?modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"900\" height=\"507\" class=\"lazyload\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested, you can go ahead and grab Pok\u00e9mon Go from the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/pok%C3%A9mon-go\/id1094591345\" rel=\"noopener\">App Store<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.nianticlabs.pokemongo&amp;hl=en_GB\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a> right now and get ready for the online leaderboards going live later today.
