Starly Community Day and Staravia Raids

July 28, 2022July 20, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go

I’ll be honest. I barely bothered with the Starly Community Day. It just wasn’t particularly interesting. We got one of the many bird-like Pokemon, and the day just was… boring, even if I did have nearby spawns. Somehow though, Starly Community Day was boring enough that I’m actually writing an article about it. Not even bothering to try and live up to Deino day Okay, sure, not every Community Day can be as good as the Deino Community Day. That event was a ton of fun, we got a cool Pokemon and it got a good move. We also had… [Continue Reading]

The Nicest Community Day Ever

June 26, 2022June 25, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, deino, pokemon go

When it comes to Community Days, lately, most of them have been meh at best. However, in a bid to make lots of money and get people outside, June’s Community Day was Deino, the dark and dragon type Pokemon. A pseudo-legendary Pokemon with a lot of bite and a great special move. Turns out, if you have an interesting Pokemon for community day, then people turn up. Actually felt like a Community Day A good Pokemon and people out to catch it. Deino’s day ticked a lot of boxes. We got a cool, rare shiny on a cool, rare Pokemon,… [Continue Reading]

Why 6-Hour Community Days are Better in Almost Every Way

May 30, 2022May 24, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go, rant

For reasons unknown, Niantic is trying to make everything in Pokemon GO back to pre-covid conditions. While smaller things like green research tasks and a daily Pokemon are cute and helpful, they’ve been taking away plenty of stuff. Players rallied together to keep the 80m diameter on interactions with Gyms and Pokestops, and Incense has been nuked from orbit. And now Niantic has focused on a new feature that they want to ruin: Community Days. Originally Community Days were okay Before all the Covid stuff, Community Days were mostly the same. Three hours, catching anything that isn’t nailed down, and… [Continue Reading]

A Community Day I Completely Forgot About

May 28, 2022May 23, 2022 Medic 0 Comments alola, community day, pokemon go

Did you know that there was a Community Day the other week? On Saturday 21st of May? No? Neither did I. Now, granted, I was pretty occupied with real-life things. But my brother also plays Community Days too, and he forgot about this one as well. For two long-time players of Pokemon GO, this seems a little odd. How did we forget about a Community Day? Sorry, Geodude. The forgotten Community Day in question featured a pretty common Pokemon. Because this month was the Season of Alola, we were destined to get a Pokemon from the Alolan region. After all,… [Continue Reading]

How Community Days SHOULD Work in Pokemon GO

May 3, 2022April 22, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go

April’s Community Day was also a debut for a brand new Pokemon. However, it was also a day of change, with many of the Community Day features we got slowly being eroded away. But Communities can be so much better. Here are some features that would make a Community Day more awesome. Bring back the buddies giving Pokeballs For some of the earlier Community Days done during the start of the pandemic, we actually got quite a nice feature. Throughout the day, our buddy Pokemon would give us gifts which contained Pokeballs. Not a small number of them either. When… [Continue Reading]

Sandshrew Community Day

March 14, 2022March 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, kanto, pokemon go, sandshrew

It’s been a while since I commented on a Community Day, but that’s mostly because, well, they’ve not been that interesting. The last Community Day before Sandshrew was Hoppip, a rather quiet little event. However, it was just before the Johto Tour, where all Johto Pokemon had their releases anyway. So, after a bunch of Johto stuff, which also comes along with Kanto stuff, you’d think we’d have a new shiny from elsewhere, right? You never know after all. There’s still a lot of Pokemon without their shinies that would work, right? A Buggy Day Oh look another Kanto Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

What to Prioritize for December’s Community Day Event

December 17, 2021December 11, 2021 Medic 0 Comments community day, event, pokemon go, rhyperior, shiny

Every December in Pokemon GO, the monthly Community Day is different. Rather than having nothing but one Pokemon spawning, December Community Days recap what we had during the years. For December, we get an entire year’s worth of Community Day Pokemon, allowing you to grab shinies and moves you may have missed. However, this year, there is a LOT of stuff going on in Pokemon GO. Thanks to the Eevee-lutions, there are way more limited community day moves, compared to previous years. And with so much going on, it’s easy to lose track. Here are some things you should prioritize… [Continue Reading]

Another Eevee Community Day

August 15, 2021August 14, 2021 Medic 0 Comments community day, eevee, eeveelution, pokemon go, pvp

When I was brand new to Pokemon GO, I once accidentally took part in the first Eevee Community Day. While I didn’t find any shinies, I did manage to get a few new Pokedex entries. I never really thought though that there’d ever be a second Community Day. Well, here I am, writing about another Eevee Community Day. Just goes to show that anything can happen. However, this Community Day was different. Two Days of Eevee For some reason, this Community Day is in fact a Community Day weekend. We get two 6-hour periods in which all spawns will be… [Continue Reading]

Poor Emboar – Tepig Community Day

July 4, 2021July 3, 2021 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go, tepig

I’m going to be honest. Somehow, I completely forgot about Tepig Community Day. I was under the impression it’d be next week. But no, I was wrong, and July 3rd was Tepig Day. There’s a few… pros and cons around here. Everything about this event feels nerfed. Okay, I get it, there are few Pokemon as interesting as Gible. That day was great. Unfortunately, Tepig just doesn’t have much weight about it. So, even before we start, expectations are lower. But even the spawns and incense felt nerfed. Normally, when a Community Day starts, you get a huge explosion of… [Continue Reading]

Gible Community Day

June 7, 2021June 6, 2021 Medic 0 Comments community day, dragon, garchomp, gible

What’s that? A Community Day with a very popular Pokemon? It can’t be! But it is! After months of unusual choices, we have returned to a Pseudo-legendary Pokemon. Gible Community Day! And because we’ve got such a good Pokemon for this Community Day, we all went a bit crazy. The bonuses were x3 catch experience, 3 hour incense and 3 hour lure models. Spawns were plentiful and incense did spawn plenty of Gibles. About half way through, I noticed some other spawns leaking in, like a Rhyhorn, some Whismur from my incense and some Arons (of course). But the spawns… [Continue Reading]
