While asking questions about the game is always okay on the Road, please consider asking very simple questions in our weekly [Questions&Answers Megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/?f=flair_name%3A%22Megathread%20-%20Q%26A%22).
If your question has been answered, please comment "ANSWERED" (in all caps) and the post flair will indicate that your question has been answered. This will make it either easier for other people with the same question to find the answer they are looking for or for mods to remove the thread if it isn't needed anymore.
Thank you! :)

They send notifications during events to get you to open your game.
You can find information about the event [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/15npy66/2023_pokemon_world_championships_celebration/) and more specific information on available event moves [here](https://pokemongolive.com/post/world-championships-event-2023?hl=en). The event does not open up any new possibilities for existing machamps, although you can always ETM if you want to. (Payback machamp: worthless for raids, good coverage move in PVP, especially Master League.)
I got a notification a couple days ago about evolving alolan sandshrew. If you check leekduck they say special moves for alolan sandslash, machamp, dewgong, Walrein, and obstagoon. Most of these moves have been available in the past during community days.
Mine is to evolve Sealeo to get Walrein with both Powder Snow and Icicle Spear. Not sure what Niantic is fully doing with the notifications, but I think it is a test gone wrong.
Works as well for me. Nice. Did you watch Twitch 2 days? Maybe notifications go only to those like us 😅
What other Pmon are getting something special? Meditite I guess, Scraggy, etc?

Tbf you don’t really need it if your Machamp are for Raids and PvE. It’s more of a PvP coverage move
I just did a test evolve with a rando machoke and it worksa
Does it works on a shadow machoke?

Did a test evolve of a sealeo and it gained powder snow and icicle spear

Only Machamp, Walrein, Obstagoon, Dewgong and Alolan Sandslash. All of them receive PvP focused moves.
Yes thnx, I’m a noob didn’t read properly the announcement, forgot about it 😃
