The next Pokemon Go Community Day event takes on Sunday, May 19. This time around it’s all about fire-type starter Pokemon Torchic and its evolutions Combusken and Blaziken, with the event and its rewards built around that evolutionary tree.
As mentioned, the focus this time is fire-type Pokemon Torchic, which can evolve into Combusken and finally fighting and fire dual type Blaziken. Like most of the starter Pokemon, this isn’t the sort of beast that sets tier lists alight, but it is a decent battling Pokemon if you have a particular weakness in the fire-type damage dealer area. The dual typing with fighting type also makes this great for taking down normal-type gym turtle Pokemon like Chansey and Snorlax. On top of that, this event brings with it a chance to catch a shiny form – meaning through evolution you can net not just a shiny Torchic, but also evolve to a shiny Blaziken as well. There’s also a range of community day bonuses and rewards in May – and we’ll explain all those in detail below. But first, a quick community day primer for the newcomers…
Put simply, Pokemon Go Community Day Events do what you’d likely expect from their name – they’re designed to get players out and about into the world, preferably interacting and hanging out together in locations that are rife with Pokestops like parks and other public places. These events are time-limited to encourage trainers to head out on the same day and at the same day on a Pokemon hunting mission.
As part of this, players are rewarded for their participation. Usually, community day events are built around a specific Pokemon, allowing players to catch more of that Pokemon and in a shiny form.
