Pokemon Go was released to the public in mid-2016. People from around the world were finally given the chance to experience being a Pokemon trainer. Slowly but surely, Niantic started adding more content into the game such as new monsters and features. Pokemon Go and Niantic wanted to reward those who have stuck with them. Resulting in the creation of Pokemon Go Community Day events.

These events started in January 2018 with players being a chance to catch the Pokemon mascot, Pikachu. Aside from the regular Pikachu, this Pokemon Go Community Day event gave players an increased shot at catching a shiny version.

Niantic has also announced previous Community Days featuring all previously featured monsters at an increased spawn rate. This was a great experience for those who have missed past events and want to catch up.

If you are looking for a Pokemon Go Community Day events list, here’s one just for you. There you can find a complete list of community day Pokemon.

First and foremost, you should know that these events run for only three hours on that specific day. Pokemon and Niantic will announce what specific time will the event occur via their website or social media accounts. Next, you have to know which Pokemon will be featured during the event. Aside from an announced monster, Niantic will also announce a “legacy move” that will come with the said monster.

There would also be special effects for items in the game during the whole event’s duration. These effects include shorter distances for eggs to hatch, longer duration for lures and experience boosts to name a few.

Lastly, take advantage of these boosts as once the event is over, you’ll have to wait for the next month. Plan out your day in advance so you can have ample time to prepare. As they say, nothing beats preparation and this allows you to conserve your time and energy.

So what to bring on during Pokemon Go Community Day events?

First and foremost, a portable charger or power bank is recommended especially if you want your battery life to be sustained during the event’s duration. You don’t want your battery to run out especially when you’re on the verge of catching a shiny Pokemon.

Second, remember to bring a water container so you can hydrate yourself during the event. You’ll probably do a lot of running under the sun and you don’t want to be dehydrated.

Third, if you own a Pokemon Go Plus bundle then this is the perfect time to use it. You don’t have to worry about missing out on a Pokemon because of the increased spawn rate.

Fourth, do not forget to bring an umbrella during Pokemon Go community day events. Whether it rains or stays hot, you’ll have some sort of protection for yourself during these days.

Fifth, this might not be a material thing but please bring an observant mind. You may enjoy catching Pokemon but please put your safety above anything else. Rushing through passing cars is not worth it in exchange for catching a Pokemon.

Lastly, bring a smile and since this is a celebration, try to interact with other players from the Pokemon Go community.
