The Community Day in Pokémon GO brings Shiny Voltilamm. This and more information have now been confirmed by the first participants.
Trainers, today is the fourth Community Day in Pokémon GO, increasing the spawn rate of Voltilamm. In Germany, the event starts at 11:00 AM, but other regions have already participated. Players from Asia confirm that there are shiny Voltilamm to catch during the Community Day. The field research has also slightly changed.
Shiny Voltilamm confirmed
During a Community Day event, there have been shiny forms of the event monster every time in the past. Although we suspected this already before the start of today’s Community Day, we only now have confirmation from the trainers.
On Reddit, trainer Vinsanity9 from New Zealand posted his shiny Voltilamm catch:
Those who are lucky will catch enough shiny Voltilamm during the event to evolve the entire shiny family. How high the chance for shinies at this event is, remains unclear so far. A look at the shiny family of Voltilamm in Pokémon GO can be found here. Dataminer Chrales already found them in the game’s code last Friday.
New field research only with Voltilamm?
Various trainers report that many field researches now deal directly with Voltilamm. This would be a good opportunity to earn additional rewards like berries or stardust during the event.
In a screenshot, trainer TheBeardedBeerBear shows his current field quests – Admittedly, there isn’t much variety:
First reports say that the quest “Catch 3 Voltilamm” has four different rewards:
- 500 stardust
- 2 Hyper Balls
- 5 Great Balls
- 2 Razz Berries
Voltilamm should be easy to catch, no special balls needed
As trainer thdrshn explains, the chance of catching a Voltilamm is high. According to his recommendation, you do not need to use Ultra Balls or Great Balls, but only regular Poké Balls. This would be a good way to replenish the stock of the other balls through the shown quests.
It’s also advisable to use Razz Berries when catching to get as many candies as possible.
