Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Global Challenge 2023 III has been announced - giving trainers the chance to get their hands on an Ultra Ball Canvas Backpack.
Registration is open from 27th April until 4th May, and the battles will begin on 5th May and run until 7th May. If you participate in three or more battles, you'll receive this special item as a code via Pokémon HOME.
Update #2 [Tue 25th Apr, 2023 03:00 BST]:
If you participated in the Global Challenge 2023 II event on the weekend, you should now be able to claim this serial code for a Great Ball Canvas Backpack in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.
Original article [Thu 13th Apr, 2023 05:05 BST]:
Since the arrival of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet late last year, the limited-time events and promotions in the game have been non-stop. The next one coming up is the 'Global Challenge 2023 II' (the second phase of the Global Challenge 2023 competition).
Serebii.net notes how registration is open from 13th April until 20th April, and battles will run from 21st April until 23rd April. Participants will receive 10,000 League Points, and a 'Great Ball Canvas Backpack' for all players connected to Pokémon HOME that participate in three or more battles. Codes for the backpack will be distributed to HOME after the conclusion of the comp.
Here's another look at this cosmetic reward, which follows the Poké Ball Canvas Backpack distributed in the first round.
Although this event is tied to Pokémon HOME, there's actually no support for this Switch app just yet. A previous update dating back to February said Violet and Scarlet would receive Home support in "early" 2023. The app recently got an update to support S&V online competition data.

It's nice to have options, I guess
I rather like to change out of that stupid school uniform. Especially when you finish the main storyline, you should be able to switch out of it when roaming the Open World.
Such a huge step backwards, compared to Sword&Shield customization options.
I mean, they could just make you auto switch into your school uniform, when you enter the school. Like similar to how you change into your gym battle uniform in Sword&Shield.
They missed the chance to call it the great ball sack.
I guess I'll participate. I could use the LP, too. Thing is, I don't have the Tera Shards to change everyone's Tera type to something competitively viable, so I don't see myself getting far.
I'd rather see they put more effort in performance patches. The game is still broken.
Oh they reskinned the backpack that already existed to look vaguely like a great ball.
I’ll pass.
@Jeronan i mean, aside from PLA, they've been backtracking with it since ORAS.
started with the magma/aqua suits, then that rider uniform in SMUSUM, next the gym suit in SwSh which had alternate sets that couldn't be used in a gym and finally here we are with SV forcing a uniform on everyone... though in canon it makes sense a bit as the region is essentially owned by geeta, who has the gall to force someone to use pokemon that are not of their preference. it's is also why she never loses her position as "top" champion despite there being at least 2 champions better than her.
I have never cared for these items but if you do, enjoy it I just wish they would fix the buggy gameplay which has meant I played main story and never returned as it was so painful to play...... One of the most disappointing aspects of this otherwise, wonderful game.
And how hard was it for them to give out with a time line those that wants to get it?
is it yellow and white, or blue and black
But it isn't yellow and black?? That's disappointing.
