Bear in mind that catching any of the above in conjunction with the special bonus event can really allow you to make the most out of training a powerful Pokemon up right its first evolution.
Pokemon Go Community Day Weekend – What Else to Expect
On top of all of the fun stuff mentioned above, the Pokemon Go Community Day Weekend event will allow players to obtain highly-desirable legacy movesets that were attached to previous Community Days. This means that certain Pokemon will be able to learn certain powerful moves that they usually can’t, which makes them stronger in battle.
This also makes Pokemon rarer, as legacy Pokemon can only be gained from events. A recently famous example was Shadow Ball Mewtwo, who is an incredibly formidable Pokemon that only some people in the world have right now. Legacy movesets make it far easier for you to make trades that benefit you, as having a legacy Pokemon can be as valuable as having a shiny in some cases.
So, there you have it—a complete breakdown of the upcoming Pokemon Go Community Day Weekend. Get out and about this weekend to reap the benefits of the unique event and try your best to log in during the special bonus hours to get the most out of it. You’ll likely catch tons of powerful Pokemon, some of which may learn legacy moves, and earn unprecedented amounts of Stardust and XP. You might even hatch some 10k eggs while you’re at it, too.
