The next Battle Competition in “Pokémon Sun and Moon” is scheduled to happen in late April, but details of the new event have been revealed as early as this week. From the looks of things, players who are joining the competition will be gifted with two new special Mega Stones. The next Global Mission has been announced as well, and this worldwide event is giving away freebies to players once its main objective has been realized.

On Tuesday, Serebii learned that The Pokémon Company has scheduled the next Battle Competition to happen from April 28–30. As part of the 2017 International Challenge Competition, the Double Battle event will follow the VGC 2017 rules and will only accommodate Pokémon from the Alola Region excluding Solgaleo, Lunala, Magearna, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Necrozma and Zygarde.

While the competition does not allow the use of Mega Stones, The Pokémon Company is giving away Mega Stones to players who are participating in this event. Registration will open on April 19 and will run until April 27. Users who are admitted to the competition will be getting free Sceptilite and Blazikenite Mega Stones. Sceptilite is a Mega Stone that facilitates Sceptile’s transformation into its Mega Evolved form. As for the Blazikenite, it is a mysterious Mega Stone that enables Blaziken to Mega Evolve during battles.

Aside from the April Battle Competition, The Pokémon Company has also announced the fifth “Pokémon Sun and Moon” Global Mission with the theme of Egg Hatching. To realize this new Global Mission, players are tasked to hatch over 200,000 Pokémon Eggs. The mission will start on April 10.

The rewards for the upcoming Global Mission has been announced as well. Serebii says players are receiving 2,000 FC (Success), 200 FC (Failure). Players who have Global Link accounts will get 4,000 FC ( Success) and 400 FC (Failure). In addition, players who are hatching three or more Eggs can earn a Rare Candy. Should players surpass the original goal and make it to hatching 400,000 Eggs, everyone will be getting a Love Ball.

Meanwhile, the gifts for those who joined the Kanto X Alola Regional Rumble Competition are now available. All qualifying players are getting Pidgeotite and Steelixite Mega Stones, which they may redeem using this link until April 27.
