This Sunday, September 15, the Community Day with Chelast takes place in Pokémon GO. We will show you how to make the most of it and provide you with information about the bonuses, Shinys, and times.
What is a Community Day? This event series takes place monthly in Pokémon GO and always revolves around a special Pokémon. Accordingly, the shiny form of the Pokémon is introduced, and bonuses round off the event.
In September, Chelast is the focus. The plant Pokémon is the first monster from the 4th generation to have a Community Day.
Information about the Community Day in September – Bonuses and Start Time
When: On Sunday, September 15, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM German time
Pokémon of the Day: Chelast
Exclusive Move: Flora-Statue (exclusive to Chelterrar)
Bonus: Triple amount of Stardust for catching Pokémon
Bonus: During the Community Day, Chelast hatches from 2 km eggs and appears in raids
Bonus: 3-hour lure modules
Additional Bonus: To learn the exclusive move Flora-Statue, you can evolve Chelcarain until 4:00 PM
Take note of these times: The Community Day will, for the first time in a long while, take place in the morning. It starts at 11 AM. There will be no more afternoon Community Days this year.
How to make the most of the Community Day
How to best utilize the bonus: This time, there will be triple Stardust when catching Pokémon. This means you should catch as many Pokémon as possible.
This works best with the catching trick. With this trick, you can catch Pokémon particularly quickly and easily catch 200 more monsters in the 3 hours.
Each Pokémon brings Stardust, so you should catch every single Pokémon, even the most useless ones. Stardust is the most important resource in the game, so you should take full advantage of a triple bonus.
Plan your playing location beforehand: The Community Day with Chelast will be quite rewarding thanks to the bonus, so you should also consider going to a better playing location. Therefore, if possible, leave your village because there are only a few Pokémon there.
Shiny Chelast, Chelcarain, and Chelterrar
Are there Shiny Chelast? There will also be Shiny Chelast for the first time during the Community Day. The shiny hunt can therefore start during the event.
How rare is Shiny Chelast? So far, the shiny chance during Community Days has always been increased. In the 3 hours, the shiny event Pokémon has been caught at a rate of about 1 in 25. This is significantly increased, as the normal chance is 1 in 450.
Chelterrar with Flora-Statue – Is it worth it?
How strong is Flora-Statue? The move is already known from other Community Days with plant Pokémon and has been very strong there. Chelterrar will also be better with Flora-Statue, but due to the weak quick attack and low attack value, it does not hold up against other attackers.
How does Chelterrar learn the move? This is only possible on the Community Day. To do this, you need to evolve Chelcarain into Chelterrar on Sunday between 11 AM and 4 PM. The move cannot be taught through TMs.
Chelast with 100% IV – What to look out for
How to determine 100% IV Pokémon: You can easily find Chelast with 100% IV in your PokéBox. Just enter “4*” in the search bar and you will see all Pokémon with 100% IV.
If you enter “3*”, you will see every Pokémon that has a value between 82.2% and 97.8%. This way you can also easily separate the Chelast with good IV from those with bad IV.
Here Chelast has weather bonus: If it is sunny in the game, you can catch Chelast up to level 35. Without this bonus, you can only catch ones maxed out at level 30.
Use these items on Community Day
- Star Pieces – 6 pieces
- The most important item is the Star Piece. This way you not only get triple Stardust but 4.5 times Stardust. It is really worth it. Have 6 pieces in your bag, as each piece lasts for 30 minutes.
- Egg Incubators – 9 pieces or more
- During the Community Day, the Ultra Bonus is also active, which brings you shiny regional Pokémon in 7 km eggs. So if you are already walking a lot, you should hatch numerous eggs as well. Maybe you will also get a shiny here. Also, eggs bring you quite a bit of Stardust.
- Lure Modules – 3 pieces or more
- What is always worth it, are lure modules. They last for 3 hours during the event, and you can take a little break at them. It’s best to light them at a place where there are multiple stops at once.
- Balls – 200 pieces or more
- The spawns will be increased during the event, so you will definitely need many Pokéballs. Collect especially Super and Ultra Balls, as Chelast is not very easy to catch.
A new shiny could also come soon. At least many players hope for that:
