As Pokémon Go gears up for the thrilling finale of the Might and Mastery season, the Community Day Classic event is set to shine a spotlight on the beloved Machop. Mark your calendars for May 24th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when the Superpower Pokémon will take center stage, offering players a golden opportunity to strengthen their Fighting-type lineup with this iconic creature.
Whether you're aiming to add a robust Machamp to your team or chasing the elusive green Shiny Machop, this event is your chance to shine. Machop will appear more frequently in the wild, increasing your chances of encountering a Shiny variant.
During the event window and until May 31st at 10:00 pm local time, evolving a Machoke will grant you a Machamp equipped with the Charged Attack Payback. This Dark-type move packs a punch with 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power in raids and Gyms, making it a valuable addition to your arsenal.
For those eager to dive deeper into the event, a Community Day exclusive Special Research story will be available for $1.99. This ticket offers a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, bonus Machop encounters, and three Machop adorned with a Seasonal Special Background.
Adding to the excitement, the Timed Research provides further incentives to log in. By completing tasks post-event, you can earn a Machop encounter featuring a Might and Mastery-themed Special Background, alongside boosted Shiny odds. Remember, these tasks expire on May 31st, so don't miss out. And while you're at it, be sure to redeem Pokémon Go codes for some fantastic freebies!
Event bonuses include 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Additionally, Field Research and PokéStop Showcases offer more opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with unique backgrounds.
To cap off the event, the Pokémon Go Web Store will launch an Ultra Community Day Box for $1.99 starting May 14th, containing two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket.
