What kind of event is this? The Community Day is an event in Pokémon GO that takes place every month. During this event, there is a Pokémon that appears almost exclusively in the wild. Alongside this, the shiny rate of this Pokémon is greatly increased and there are additional bonuses that are active during the event.

Additionally, Fuegro will be able to learn the charged attack Dark Lariat of the Dark type starting from the Community Day.
Can Flamiau be shiny? Yes, you have an increased chance for the shiny monster. Here’s what it looks like:
Who is Flamiau worth it for?
For collectors: If you currently have neither Flamiau nor its evolutions in your Pokédex, this event is perfect for you. With the countless appearances of Flamiau, you can collect enough candies to evolve it.
Since the shiny chance is also significantly increased, you also have the opportunity to add the shiny variant of Flamiau and its evolutions to your collection.
For fighters: If you want to use Flamiau and its evolutions for battling, you will be disappointed. Unfortunately, Fuegro is not among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
The situation is similar in the battle leagues. Fuegro does not play a role in any of the battle leagues. Here, you should resort to other Pokémon.
The perfect preparation for the Community Day in March 2024
Make room: As is customary for Community Days, you should ensure that you have space in your Pokémon Box. This will save you the hassle of constantly sending Pokémon during the Community Day.
If your Pokémon Box is still full during the event, you can quickly sort out Pokémon with a trick.
Prepare your items: You can also prepare your items before the Community Day and gather the important items in advance.
- Sufficient Poké Balls: Make sure to collect an adequate number of Poké Balls before the Community Day. How to collect Poké Balls in Pokémon GO.
- Sananaberries: If you use Sananaberries when catching a Pokémon, you double the candies you receive upon capture. Since you already receive double candies during the event, you can obtain four times the amount of candies for a catch with a Sananaberry.
- Incense and Lure Module: These two items help increase the number of Pokémon you encounter. If you activate either of the items during the Community Day, the duration will even be extended to 3 hours.
Which Mega Pokémon are worth it for the event? If you have a Fire-type Mega Pokémon active, you can enjoy an additional candy when catching a Flamiau. The following Mega evolutions are Fire-type and therefore worthwhile if you want to use this bonus during the Community Day.
- Mega-Altaria
- Mega-Charizard X or Mega-Charizard Y
- Mega-Houndoom
- Mega-Blaziken
