Special Raids: After the Community Day, special level 4 raids will again take place, where you can battle Akkup, the first evolution of Mabula. Please note that these raids can only be played on-site. After the raid, you will be rewarded with additional Mabula spawns for 30 minutes around the arena.
Who should benefit from the Community Day with Mabula?
Is there Shiny-Mabula? Yes, Mabula is celebrating its Shiny debut in the game during the Community Day. You can find it in its shiny form for the first time. Due to the increased Shiny rate during the event, your chances are particularly good.
How strong is Mabula? Mabula itself is not particularly strong. However, it has an evolution, Donarion, which can benefit from a strong attack stat. With a moveset of Bug Bite and X-Scissor, it secures a place among the best Bug attackers in Pokémon GO. However, in the GO Battle League, the Bug Pokémon doesn’t impress.
Who should take advantage of the Community Day? Mabula is interesting for all trainers who are still looking for a strong Bug attacker for raids. And shiny hunters will also get their money’s worth at this event. Moreover, there is the triple XP bonus for catching. If you are still on your way to level 50, you have the opportunity to farm a lot of XP on this day.
How to prepare for the Community Day with Mabula
Make space: To catch as many Mabula as possible during the Community Day, you should clear space in your Pokémon storage beforehand. So sort out vigorously. We recommend using the tag and filter functions in the game. For example, by entering 0*,1*,2*
you can display all monsters that have 2 stars or less.
Have important items ready: In addition to space in Pokémon storage, having the right items is particularly important. You primarily need balls for catching. You should have the following items prepared:
- Balls: If you want to play all day, you should have at least 200 balls on hand. Here, we show you how to find balls in Pokémon GO.
- Fruits: This doubles your candies when catching.
- Smoke & Lure Modules: These attract even more specimens and last 3 hours during the event.
- Lucky Eggs double your XP for 30 minutes. It’s best to combine these with your friendship level up.
Activate a Mega Evolution: Additionally, during the Community Day, you should activate a Bug-type Mega Evolution to get extra candies when catching Mabula. The following Pokémon are suitable for this:
- Mega Beedrill
- Mega Scizor
- Mega Pinsir
