A new challenge following the return of the Mega Lucario challenge is here now, and this time it comes in the form of Mega Venusaur! This Mega Venusaur event gives you a chance at unlocking a Venusaurite if you’re able to rank as one of the top players in your region – 10k in Europe, 20k in North America, and 50k in Japan.

As usual with the challenges, if you don’t rank top in your region, you’ll receive a Jewel just for participating in the challenge. The Mega Venusaur challenge runs from today until June 8th. Good luck!
