What are PokeStop Showcases in Pokemon Go?
NianticA PokeStop Showcase is a feature to compete with other players by displaying your best Pokemon. Showcases appear during in-game events, and players can pick a Pokemon to compare with other trainers in different categories. Each Showcase has its pool of eligible Pokemon and is available for a limited time.
PokeStops hosting a Showcase have an icon above them, and to participate in a Showcase, you need to tap that PokeStop and then select ‘Showcase’ to choose a Pokemon. You can only enter one Pokemon per Showcase, so pick your contender carefully.
If you catch a better Pokemon while the Showcase is still active, you can switch it remotely. You can still trade, transfer, change form, or evolve the Pokemon you pick after it enters a Showcase.
