In September, the Community Day with a starter Pokémon from Generation 2, Chikorita, will take place in Pokémon GO. We will show you what is already known.
What’s new? Niantic announced on Tuesday evening the new Community Day, which will take place in September with Chikorita. In August, players had the opportunity to participate in the Community Day on 2 days, but in September it will be just one day as usual.
Community Day #9 with Chikorita
More experience points: The Pokémon GO team releases information about the Community Days in stages. First, we learn which exclusive Pokémon will be featured on which day with what additional bonuses. In September, it looks like this:
- Exclusive Pokémon: Chikorita (Grass-type Pokémon, one of the starters from Gen 2)
- Bonuses: 3x XP for catching Pokémon
- Incense lasts for 3 hours instead of 30 minutes
- Date and time: The ninth Community Day starts on Saturday, September 22, at 11 AM. As usual, it will be active for 3 hours and ends at 2:00 PM German time.
And the exclusive move? The move has not yet been determined. The Pokémon GO team always waits to announce the move until a few days before the start of the event. Often, dataminers find hints in the code before that.
It is certain that the exclusive Community Day move will not be available for Chikorita itself, but will be activated for its evolution Bayleef. You will need to evolve a Chikorita into Bayleef during the event to make it learn the exclusive move.
Confusion about the times – GMT, UTC?
In-game message confuses players: In Pokémon GO, Niantic sent trainers the news about the Chikorita event. They specified the event time for Europe as 09:00 to 12:00 UTC. However, due to daylight saving time, we are currently 2 hours ahead of UTC.
When it is 9:00 AM in a UTC time zone, it is 11:00 AM in Germany. So the usual event time in Germany is 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
To be completely sure, you can check on the official Community Day website yourself.
