What are the Usual Bonuses During Community Day?
Community Days usually include several bonuses designed to enhance the gameplay experience and make catching Pokémon more rewarding. These bonuses often include:
- Increased Pokémon Spawn Rates: Expect to encounter the featured Pokémon far more frequently than usual during the event window.
- Increased Shiny Pokémon Encounter Rate: The chance of encountering a shiny version of the featured Pokémon is significantly boosted.

What Time Does the July Community Day Event Take Place?
(This section will be updated with the official announcement from Niantic.) The event typically runs for three hours, but the specific start and end times vary depending on your region. Check the official Pokémon GO in-game news and social media channels for your region's specific timing.
How Can I Maximize My Chances of Catching a Shiny Pokémon?
Catching a shiny Pokémon during Community Day is a coveted goal for many trainers. Here are some tips to increase your chances:
- Play During Peak Hours: The increased spawn rates and shiny rates are consistent throughout the event window, but player density might impact server stability. Consider playing during the hours when the servers are expected to be less congested.
- Utilize Lure Modules: Lure Modules attract Pokémon to PokéStops, increasing the number of encounters you'll have.
- Use Incense: Incense attracts Pokémon to your location, enhancing your chances of finding the featured Pokémon.
- Check Nearby Pokémon: Regularly check your "Nearby" Pokémon list to spot the featured Pokémon and prioritize those with possible shiny animations.
- Be Patient: Shiny Pokémon appearances are random. Patience and persistence are key.
What is the Special Community Day Move?
(This section will be updated with the official announcement from Niantic.) The special Community Day move is a significant advantage. It's crucial to evolve your featured Pokémon during the event window (or the extended timeframe, if applicable) to ensure it learns the exclusive move.
What are the Post-Community Day Event Activities?
After the three-hour event window closes, there are sometimes additional bonuses or challenges available for a short period. These may include:
- Extended Evolution Window: You might have a few hours to evolve your Pokémon and still get the Community Day move.
- Special Research Tasks: Completion of Special Research tasks may award additional rewards.
- Bonus Items: There may be bonuses for activities like raids or team rocket battles.
