What are PokeStop Showcases in Pokemon Go?
A PokeStop Showcase is a feature to compete with other Pokemon Go 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.
How to win a PokeStop Showcase in Pokemon Go
To win a PokeStop Showcase, Pokemon Go players have to pay attention to its specific rules.

The top three contestants can receive other rewards, such as an Incubator or a Star Piece. The winner of the Showcase will get a special medal. Those who win 100 PokeStop Showcases can claim Pikachu PhD, so keep that in mind.
