Naintic has introduced the Pokémon for the Community Day in August 2022 in Pokémon GO. MeinMMO tells you which monster to expect and what bonuses you can use during the Community Day.
This is now known: The Community Day in August 2022 features Galar-Zigzagoon. The Dark and Normal-type Pokémon will be found more frequently in the wild, and you may even find it in its shiny form.
Unlike the regular Zigzagoon, the Galar form has some peculiarities. You can read more about it in our special: The Galar Monsters in Pokémon GO: What they can do, how to get them
If you evolve the Pokémon into Barrikadax, it can learn the exclusive charged move Blocker. To do this, you must evolve a Galar-Geradaks into Barrikadax within the event period or up to 5 hours afterward. The Community Day also offers further bonuses for you.

Are you looking forward to the Community Day in August, or is the current weather just too hot for excursions? Already in July, the heat is troubling many trainers – so much so that they are now demanding developers to adjust the game to protect players:
