Preparations – Pack These Items
During the event, you will receive triple the amount of Stardust for catching a Pokémon. If you find a spot in the sun (sunny weather in Pokémon GO), Charmander will be boosted, and you will receive even more Stardust for a catch. The maximum yield is obtained when you also activate a Star Piece.
You should have plenty of these items during Community Day:
- Poké Balls – Fill your pockets with many Poké Balls of all kinds to catch as many monsters as possible and fully exploit the triple Stardust rewards.
- Lures – A lure lasts three hours during the event. If you have a spot with several PokéStops nearby, you can attract many monsters efficiently.
- Lucky Eggs – Are you still eagerly collecting experience points? Then activate Lucky Eggs for the event.
- Incense – By igniting incense, more Pokémon will appear in your vicinity. This increases your chances of encountering a Shiny.
