Summary
The nextPokemon GOCommunity Day will star Goomy, Niantic has revealed. The upcomingPokemon GOevent is scheduled to take place in early June 2024.
Niantic’s hit mobile game has been holding Community Days on a monthly basis since January 2018. The developer has alreadyhinted at Goomy starring in the June 2024Pokemon GOCommunity Dayas part of a recent social media teaser.
Pokemon GO Players Will Soon Get a Chance to Obtain Goodra With Thunder Punch
The Goomy-centric event was made official on May 29, with Niantic confirming that the next Community Day will take place on June 9, running from 2pm to 5pm local time. As per usual, this three-hour window will offer players a chance to catch plenty of Goomy specimens by dramatically increasing their spawn rate. The event itself will take place mere weeks after the three-year anniversary ofGoomy’sPokemon GOdebut.
The Generation 6 mon is part of an evolutionary line that also includes Sliggoo and Goodra. Evolving a Sliggoo during the upcoming Community Day or up to five hours afterward will leave players with a Goodra that knows Thunder Punch, a charged attack that’s widely considered as one of thebest Electric moves in the entirePokemonfranchise. The move is also fairly useful inPokemon GO, as underlined by the fact that it’s often encountered in the arsenals of some Master League staples such as Electivire. Thunder Punch costs 55 power in trainer battles and 45 power in gyms and raids.
Evolving Sliggoo into Goodra inPokemon GOis only possible during rainy weather, or while being in the immediate vicinity of an active Rainy Lure Module. One Timed Research awarding a Rainy Lure Module will be available from 2pm to 10pm local time on the day of the event. Niantic is also preparing another Special Research Story for the upcoming Community Day. Tickets for the quest will become available for purchase in early June, presumably a bit ahead of the event itself. Like most other Special Research Stories, this next one will be priced at $1, with players also being able to gift tickets to their in-game friends.
Catching pocket monsters will yield three times the Stardust and doublePokemon GOCandyrewards for the duration of the upcoming Community Day. The chances of earning Candy XL from catching mons will also be doubled for players on Trainer level 31 and up. Other traditional Community Day bonuses will also be in effect, including a 50% Stardust discount on trades, extended Lure Module duration, and an extra Special Trade slot.
