The Pokémon GO Community Day in June 2021 has an official date and confirms a monster that everyone has been wanting for a long time: Gible will be the Pokémon of the day.
When does the Community Day in June start? As announced by the official Pokémon GO Twitter account, the Community Day will take place on June 6, 2021. That is a Sunday. Exact event times have not yet been announced, but in the past, Community Days have usually been from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM – that is likely to be the case this time as well.
It is known which Pokémon will make an appearance that day: Gible will be the focus of the Community Day. And this makes the June event a day that Pokémon GO trainers should not miss.
Gible is one of the most exciting Pokémon in the game
This is Gible: The small dragon and ground-type monster first appeared in the fourth generation and has been notorious for its rarity since its release in Pokémon GO. The dragon was simply very hard to find; Gible hardly ever appeared in raids, tasks, or in the wild. It was possible to find Gible quite well during GO Fest 2020, but after that, it became more complicated.
However, Gible is not only coveted because of its rarity but also because of its role in the game. It evolves into Gabite and then into Garchomp. And Garchomp is currently among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
What does the Community Day bring? The announcement basically contains no information other than the monster. However, Community Days always include the following features:
- Plenty of spawns of the event monster. You will find Gible in abundance.
- A special move. If Garchomp receives a particularly strong ground-type move, it could rise even higher in the meta. What it will be has not yet been announced.
- An increased shiny rate. It is quite possible that you will not only catch one of the previously rarest and strongest monsters on Community Day, but also its shiny variant. It has been unlocked in Pokémon GO for quite some time now.
There is usually an additional bonus, such as extra stardust, XP, or shorter hatch times. However, this will still be revealed.
This is what the community says: On the Pokémon GO subreddit, the announcement is received very positively. Finally, there is a really exciting Pokémon on Community Day, is the general consensus.
- “The crazies actually did it,” rejoices one user (via reddit). Players have been hoping for a Gible Day for a long time.
- There are initial speculations that Mega Evolution for Garchomp might also come around the Community Day (via reddit). This is currently the case for the upcoming Community Day with Swablu.
- Players are speculating about what move it could get. A popular variant would apparently be the move “Earth Power,” which several players are mentioning (via reddit).
How exactly the Community Day will look is likely to be announced in the coming weeks. However, it is already clear that the Pokémon will be an absolute must-attend for many trainers – especially if Gible disappears again into its notorious rarity afterwards.
The next event will be the Marill event this coming Sunday. In fact, some have been able to play that already, after the Marill event started too early.
