Pokémon GO

Trainers,

Get ready for another Community Day: Play at Home Edition, this time featuring Seedot, the Acorn Pokémon! This special event format will last six hours and will feature increased Incense duration, GO Snapshot surprises, a Special Research story, and more! We’ll also be testing the very first Community Day livestream during the event, so stay tuned for more details.

Date + Time

Sunday, May 24, 2020, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time

Features

  • Seedot will be appearing more frequently in the wild. If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny Seedot.
  • Evolve Nuzleaf (the evolved form of Seedot) during the event or up to two hours afterward to get a Shiftry that knows Bullet Seed.
  • For US$1 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), you’ll be able to access a Community Day–exclusive Special Research story—Seeing Double! Follow Professor Willow as he learns about Seedot and discovers just how much it and its evolved forms, Nuzleaf and Shiftry, enjoy messing with Trainers and Pokémon alike. Complete it to earn three Incense, five Golden Razz Berries, and other rewards.
  • Take a few snapshots during Community Day for a surprise!
  • There’ll be a special one-time-purchase May Community Day bundle, featuring an Elite Fast TM, 30 Ultra Balls, three Incense, and three Lucky Eggs.
