Pokémon Go’s Charmander Community Day event features the lizard Pokémon. Our guide lists out perks and how to find a shiny.
Pokémon Go is having a Charmander Community Day Classic event on Sept. 2 from 2-5 p.m. in your local time.
As expected with a Community Day event, Charmander will spawn in huge numbers with a high chance for it to appear shiny. There are also several other bonuses and perks, which we’ve list out below.How do I catch a shiny Charmander?
As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), Shiny rates on Community Days are about 1 in 24, which means that if you keep playing throughout the three-hour window, you should find quite a few shiny Pokémon.
If you’re short on time or Poké Balls, you can pop an Incense, then quickly tap each Charmander to check for shiny ones, running from any that aren’t shiny. Notably, any Charmander you’ve already tapped will face where your player is standing, so that should help identify which ones you may have already checked.
