The Community Day of Pokémon GO this weekend brings Galar-Zigzagoon. But even if you have no interest in the monster, you shouldn’t miss the event.
When does the event take place? The Community Day takes place this coming Saturday, August 13, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
At the Community Day, a special monster is always in the spotlight, appearing everywhere. This time, it’s the Galar variant of Zigzagoon, which you can evolve into Linoone and ultimately Obstagoon.
But even apart from the monster, this Community Day can be really worthwhile. Because in the three hours on Saturday, there will be plenty of rewarding bonuses.
Community Day brings a lot of Stardust and XP
These bonuses you can earn: The Community Day already had several bonuses planned, but now it’s getting even better – thanks to the Hyperbonus and the concurrently running Bug Out event.
These multiple bonuses create really good opportunities for you to significantly increase both XP and Stardust.
Getting Stardust: The Community Day already offers triple catch Stardust. So you can secure this for every single monster you catch.
However, if enough monsters are caught at certain PokéStops with Lure Modules by sufficient trainers, the bonus even increases to four times for 30 minutes. It’s worth playing in places where many stops are available and ideally where some trainers pass by.
If you then throw a Starpiece, your catch Stardust will be increased by another half for a limited time. You can therefore receive six times Stardust when you are at the right location.
Saving Stardust: You can theoretically invest the Stardust directly again – in trading, that is. During the C-Day, each trade costs 75% less Stardust, thanks to the Hyperbonus. Plus, you get two additional special trades, allowing you to conduct a total of four on that day.
Here, you won’t get additional Stardust, but you’ll at least spend less than usual.
XP bonuses for leveling: The Community Day runs simultaneously with the “Bug Out” event. This event gives you double XP when you catch monsters with a nice, great, or excellent throw. So you can already rack up double the XP if you pay attention to your throws.
Now it also happens that the Hyperbonus grants double catch XP as well. Thus, we are already talking about quadruple XP in the case of at least a nice throw.
If you then also use a Lucky Egg, there’s another double amount of XP – so a total of eight times catch XP.
It remains to be seen whether Niantic will actually allow all these XP bonuses to run simultaneously – but so far there are no contrary indications.
This is how worthwhile the Community Day is: With the high bonuses for Stardust and XP, the Community Day is perfect for collecting, even if you don’t need Galar-Zigzagoon.
And there are even more bonuses, including double transfer candies and increased chances of XL candies with at least nice throws. Basically, the only bonus missing would be one for hatching speed for eggs – then it would be the perfect bonus day.
Accordingly, the Community Day is definitely a good choice if you are aiming for the next level breakthrough, for example.
