This March, the 3rd Community Day in Pokémon GO is coming up. However, the rewards are contradictory.
On March 25th, it’s that time again: the next Community Day in Pokémon GO is coming. On this day, it is especially worthwhile to go outside, because during this event, Bulbasaur will appear more frequently in the wild. These monsters or their evolutions will know a special move.
To make the event even more worthwhile, the developers are providing bonuses. This includes extended Lure Modules. The additional reward for March was originally already set, but is now being hotly debated.
Community Day Event with 3x Stardust or XP?
Niantic announces a Community Day in Pokémon GO through various means. First, the Community Day webpage is updated. There, the developers show which Pokémon will be special, when the event takes place, and what rewards and bonuses there will be for participants.
Which exclusive event move the special Pokémon will learn will be revealed later.
After the announcement on the website, trainers will also be informed via in-game news that a Com-Day is coming up soon. Niantic will also reveal what rewards and bonuses will be available there.
Contradiction between Website and Ingame News
We already reported on February 27th that there will be triple experience points for catching monsters during the 3rd Community Day. That is also stated on the official event website.
Confusion has now erupted following the in-game news about the event. It states “Additionally, you will receive three times the amount of Stardust for all Pokémon you catch during the event period!” – There is no mention of triple experience points.
The community is now uncertain which news to trust. This topic has already been discussed on Reddit. The suspicion is that when writing the in-game news, the rewards from the 2nd Community Day were accidentally left in the text. In the English in-game news, as on the official Community Day website, it mentions 3x XP.
We have inquired with Niantic and will inform you when we have updates.
