Pokemon Go: June Community Day Event Details

Niantic has announced the star Pokémon of the next community day event in June. It was somewhat as a surprise as it felt like the previous Community Day Event was only 2 or 3 weeks ago. Slakoth, which is the Normal type from Generation Three will be the featured Pokémon and spawn more often during the event Saturday June 8, 2019. Niantic continues to follow the typical trend of alternating rare Pokémon with the starters of each generation as Slakoth was the star last month.

As usual the community day event will last for three hours and will be on a Saturday this time around. The reward during the event will be a 4x improvement for egg hatches. Surprisingly, no other rewards have been announced except for the typical three hour lure duration. Given the rarity and popularity of Slakoth and its evolutions, I am not surprised that there is not more bonuses as many would go out and get as much candy as possible as the Slaking evolution is the highest CP available in the game.

As usual, you will have a chance to encounter the shiny form of the Pokémon Slakoth in increased probabilities during the event. Also, a special move that will be gained from evolving Vigoroth to Slaking up to an hour after the event will soon be announced. It will be interesting to see how much interest this gets from the community this month. Good luck and catch ‘em all!

Thanks!
