A weekend long Shiny fest, and you’re invited.
This Weekend, all previous Community Day Pokémon from the past two years will be back, for an event like no other. You will have the chance to catch some familiar Pokémon such as Shinx, Machop, Roselia and more. If you missed their Community Day the first time around, you will finally have that shot at redemption for that coveted shiny. Too help you better prepare for the event, we’ve laid out everything you need to know, so you can make the most out of your weekend.

Tips
Be sure to clear out your storage as much as possible before hand. This way you won’t have to stop during those precious hours of Community Day. If you haven’t already upgraded your storage, there was a recent update to the maximum amount you can hold.
If you do have to stop and transfer a bunch of Pokémon really quick, I like to use the search “age0&!4*&!3*&!shiny” within The Pokémon storage menu. This will bring up all The Pokémon you have caught today, that are not shiny and have two or less stars in their stat appraisal.
Have fun this weekend and good luck hunting down those rare sparkles
See you around, Genesect!
