In Pokémon GO the Community Day with Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew takes place on Sunday. For this occasion, Niantic is now hosting live events in numerous cities. We at MeinMMO have taken a look at what it’s all about, where the events will take place, and how you can participate.
What kind of event is it? Every month a Community Day takes place in Pokémon GO that highlights a specific Pokémon. On Sunday, March 13, 2022, it’s that time again, and this time you can even encounter two monsters: Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew.
This event usually takes place purely virtually and can thus be played from anywhere. This will also be the case for the Community Day with Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew, however, Niantic has thought of a special feature for you.
In addition to the digital gaming experience, Pokémon GO will host live events worldwide in more than 20 cities on this day under the name “Community Day” meetups. Several cities in Germany and Austria will also participate. We will show you which ones and how you can be part of it.

Niantic also points out that they are working closely with the cities for the safety of the players. Nevertheless, please consider the specific (corona) regulations of the respective venue when planning.
What can you expect at the live events?
There isn’t much known yet about the specific contents of the “Community Day” meetups. So far, Niantic has only announced that you can participate normally in the Community Day and catch your Sandshrew or Alolan Sandshrew there.
Additionally, you will meet other trainers there and can make friendships or trade Pokémon. Furthermore, various photo spots will be set up where you can take breaks. Whether there will be any further special features remains to be seen.
Do you have to attend the live event to participate in the C-Day? No, the live events are an additional offering by Niantic to enhance the gaming experience.
If you don’t have time or interest to attend one of these events or don’t have a venue near you, you can still play the Community Day from home as usual.
