On Saturday, January 12th, the Community Day with KarniMana starts in Pokémon GO. We provide you with all the info about start time, shinies, and bonuses so you can make the most of the event.
What are Community Days? Community Days take place once a month in Pokémon GO. For three hours, an event Pokémon spawns more frequently, focusing on that Community Day. In addition to the increased spawns, there are also bonuses that are active for the three hours. Each Community Day also features the shiny form of the Pokémon.
In January 2019, it is all about the Water Starter KarniMana. We will tell you what bonuses are available and how you can best prepare for the event.
Community Day in January – GMT+0: Exact Times and Bonuses
- What: The Pokémon GO Community Day in January 2019
- When: On Saturday, January 12th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM German time (GMT+1)
- Pokémon of the Day: KarniMana
- Exclusive Attack: Aqua Jet (Only for Impergator)
- Bonus: The distance to hatch eggs is reduced to a quarter
- Bonus: 3-hour lure modules
- Additional Bonus: To learn the exclusive attack Aqua Jet, you can evolve your Tyracroc until 3 PM

This means GMT+0: The in-game notification states that the Community Day starts at 10 AM. However, this refers to the GMT+0 timezone. In Germany, we have the GMT+1 timezone, which is why it starts at 11 AM as usual.
Shiny KarniMana, Tyracroc, and Impergator
Is KarniMana also available as Shiny? In every previous Community Day, the event Pokémon was also available in its shiny form. Niantic has not yet confirmed the appearance of Shiny KarniMana, but since it has always been handled this way, one can assume the same this time.
This is the likelihood of getting a Shiny: During Community Days, the Shiny rate has always been elevated. It was 1 in 25. It can be assumed that this rate will be just as high this time. However, this only applies to the event Pokémon and not to other shinies.
How strong is Impergator with Aqua Jet?
How can I get the attack? For your Impergator to master Aqua Jet, you must evolve a Tyracroc into Impergator during the event period. You can only receive the attack between 11 AM and 3 PM. After that, the attack will no longer be available. Impergator cannot learn event attacks through TMs.
Impergator gets stronger: The Aqua Jet attack significantly boosts Impergator. The base damage caused by Aqua Jet is very high. Thanks to this attack, Impergator will become one of the best water attackers in the game. So you should definitely aim for an Impergator with this attack.
Interesting for PvP: Impergator is also a good candidate for PvP alongside the attack. Especially in the Super and Hyper leagues, it can become a powerful weapon. Aqua Jet also deals good neutral damage, making it a solid all-rounder.
This WP must your KarniMana have – 100% IV values
This is how KarniMana gets a weather boost: Since KarniMana is a Water type, it will be boosted by the weather in the rain.
How strong is KarniMana in the wild? Without the weather bonus, KarniMana can have a maximum of 970 CP in the wild. This would be a 100% IV KarniMana at level 30. With the weather bonus, it can even reach 1051 CP.

You can copy the following list and paste it into your search bar in the game. The list shows the CP that a 100% IV KarniMana could have. A KarniMana with a higher level might also have the same CP. So evaluate your KarniMana once again afterward:

These items will help you on Community Day
- Incubators or Super Incubators – 9 pieces
- The incubators are the most important item on this Community Day. You can make the most of the shortened egg distance with numerous incubators. For a 10 KM egg, you only need to walk 2.5 km. If you even use Super Incubators, you only have to walk 1.67 kilometers for a 10 KM egg to hatch.
- Important: Only put your eggs in the incubators after the event starts at 11 AM. Eggs already in an incubator before the start of the Community Day will not receive the bonus for the reduced distance.
- Lure Modules – 3 pieces or more
- To catch as many Pokémon as possible, lure modules are worthwhile. They provide you with an even greater chance of encountering shiny KarniMana. Additionally, lure modules are ideal for a little break since you can also linger at lure modules.
- Incense – 6 pieces
- Ideally, you should use incense. Incense attracts even more Pokémon, and players in the village have a chance for more Pokémon. Incense lasts for 30 minutes, so you should have six pieces to last through the three hours.
- Star Pieces – 6 pieces
- In addition to the Community Day, there is also the Egg Event. You will receive double candies and stardust from eggs. Since you will hatch numerous eggs during the three hours, the star pieces are also worthwhile. Your stardust will be increased by 1.5x.
- Balls – 200 pieces or more
- To withstand the onslaught of KarniMana, you should stock up on balls. The catch rate of KarniMana is low, so you should also have some Ultra and Hyper Balls on hand because only a few KarniMana will stay in normal Poké Balls.
- GO Plus
- The GO Plus helps you catch Pokémon. It catches wild Pokémon for you at the push of a button.
