Daily and weekly routine
Many rewards in PBO come back on a timer: daily battles and bosses, weekly challenges and monthly traders. This page gathers them into three checklists and says when each one resets. The linked guides have the details.
Every day
Section titled “Every day”Everything in this section resets at 00:00 UTC unless its row says otherwise.
Daily Objectives
Section titled “Daily Objectives”Ten small tasks reset every day. Open Trainer Challenges and pick Daily Challenges to see them and your progress. Each finished task pays its own reward:
| Objective | Task | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Slayer | Defeat 50 wild Pokémon |  Starter Ballx3 |
| Battler | Win 1 battle against an NPC trainer |  Revive |
| Catcher | Catch 3 Pokémon |  Ultra Ball |
| Care Taker | Level up 3 Pokémon | 500 F |
| Businessperson | List 1 Pokémon or item in the Trade House |  Max Repel |
| Investor | Buy 1 Pokémon or item from the Trade House |  Full Heal |
| Runner | Run from 50 wild Pokémon |  Super Repelx2 |
| Brawler | Finish 10 ranked battles |  Ranked Battle Tokenx5 |
| Smart Brawler | Win 10 ranked battles | Ranked Battle Tokenx20 |
| Tough Brawler | Win 2 ranked battles in a row | Ranked Battle Tokenx10 |
Finish 5 of them for a 
Great Ball, and all 10 for a 
PP Up. With an active Game Pass, those two steps also give 500 and 1,000 Game Pass XP: the biggest single source of pass XP.
