On August 13, 2023, Pokemon Go trainers worldwide will have the opportunity to participate in a unique event featuring the Bubble Frog Pokemon, Froakie. This event, known as Community Day, will take place from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
During Community Day, Froakie will appear with increased frequency in the wild. Trainers who participate in the event will also have the chance to encounter a Shiny version of this Pokemon. The Frogadier, the evolved form of Froakie, will be able to evolve into a Greninja that can use the Charged Attack Hydro Cannon. This evolution opportunity is available during the event and up to five hours afterward.
For the trainers engaged in battles, Hydro Cannon will demonstrate a power of 80 in Trainer Battles, and 90 in Gym and Raid battles. Additionally, starting from the day of the event, Greninja will be able to learn the Fast Attack Water Shuriken, which has a power of 6 in Trainer Battles and 10 in Gym and Raid battles.
Participants can also gain access to a Froakie Community Day-exclusive Special Research story, titled “A Bubbly Disposition”, for a fee of US$1.00 or the equivalent in local currency. This special research ticket can be purchased and gifted to any trainer friend with whom a Great Friend level or higher has been achieved. However, please note that a trainer cannot receive a gifted ticket if they have already purchased one or have received one as a gift.
Participants can look forward to several event bonuses. These include 3x Stardust and 2x Candy for catching Pokemon, as well as a 2x chance for trainers of level 31 and above to receive Candy XL from catching Pokemon. Lure Modules and Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) activated during the event will last for three hours. Additionally, taking snapshots during Community Day could lead to a surprise!
Furthermore, trainers will have the opportunity for an extra Special Trade, making for a total of three for the day. The trade will also require 50% less Stardust. The timing for these bonuses will be from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time.
On the day, there will be Community Day-themed Field Research available, where catching Froakie can lead to rewards such as additional Froakie encounters, Stardust, Ultra Balls, and more.
Exclusive deals will also be available at the Pokemon GO Web Store, where trainers can purchase the Ultra Community Day Box at a discounted rate.
After the conclusion of the Community Day event, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time, trainers can partake in special four-star Raid Battles. Winning these battles will result in an increase of Froakie appearing around the Gym that hosted the raid for a half-hour. Please note, only Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes can be used to join these Raid Battles. Remote Raid Passes will not be applicable.
Upon successfully completing a four-star Raid Battle against Frogadier, additional Froakie will spawn around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. Under these circumstances, there is also a chance to encounter a Shiny Froakie.
Lastly, event-themed stickers will be available by spinning PokéStops, opening Gifts, or purchasing them from the in-game shop.
