Pokemon Go Fans Also Have a Chance to Catch a Special Charizard
This month’s Pokemon Go Community Day is finally here, and brings with it some shiny Pokemon, a special unique fire-type attack for Charizard, and the surprise return of Ho-Oh to Raid Battles (who’s staying until June 7th).
The Community Day event is a monthly event where, for just a few hours, you can encounter special Pokemon in the wild. There’s also the chance to learn a previously unavailable move for a Pokemon or its evolution – but this excludes Fast TMs and Charged TMs, as you must catch or evolve the Pokemon during event hours.
Speaking of, the listed event hours for today are:
North America
- 11 AM – 2 PM PT
- 2 PM – 5 PM ET
Europe and Africa
- 10 AM – 1 PM BST
Asia-Pacific
- 12 PM – 3 PM JST
For this month’s event, Pokemon Go players will earn triple their usual amount of Stardust when capturing a Pokemon, and any Lure Modules that are activated during this event will last for three hours, rather than their usual 30-minutes.
The special Pokemon for this month is Charmander, who will be spawning much more frequently during the hours listed above, and Pokemon Go players have the chance of finding a shiny version it.
There is also the chance of any Charmeleon that evolves into a Charizard during the event hours will learn the unique fire-type move Blast Burn – even if the Pokemon was caught before the event begun.
A final surprise to top off the new Community Day is the return of the Legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh, who can be found in Raid Battles from today until June 7th.
The rainbow Pokemon is a powerful Fire and Flying type who will be appearing in gyms across the world alongside the pair of Legendary Pokemon Latias and Latios!
