Due to the health crisis caused by the coronavirus, for the first time since its launch in 2016, Pokemon Go had to cancel the Community Day last March that was going to be dedicated to Abra, but promised that it would have a new event signaled soon. Now, Niantic has announced the next date of this event, taking into account the health precautions and allowing players to participate from home, even if it is not the same traditional experience as before when meeting more people on the street.
Niantic confirms that the new Pokemon Go Abra Community Day will take place next April 25, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. It will last three hours more than usual and will have the following characteristics:
- Abra will appear more often in the wild.
- If you are lucky, you can meet an Abra shinny.
- Evolve Abra during the event or up to two hours after it ends to obtain an Alakazam that knows an exclusive attack. And at this point, we love being able to announce that that exclusive attack will be the Fight-type Fast Counter Attack.
- For $ 1 (or the price equivalent in your local currency), you'll be able to unlock an exclusive Community Day special research story: Investigating Illusions! Complete it to receive 13,000 Stardust, a Pokocho, a Rocket radar and other rewards. Stay tuned to find out when tickets go on sale. Entry for this special research history event is non-refundable. Subject to current regulations and the exceptions established in the Terms of Service.
Trainers, we've made some temporary changes to Community Day to make it easier for you to participate from anywhere you play, including at home. We’d like to introduce you to #PokemonGOCommunityDay: Play at Home Edition. Learn more: https://t.co/zDort6xeG3 pic.twitter.com/Pffxuhue0m

Play Pokémon GO, but stay home
From Niantic they are still committed to helping people stay home in these difficult days of confinement due to the coronavirus, so they are putting all kinds of facilities so that you can play Pokémon GO without having to go outside
- As we mentioned earlier, Community Day will now last six hours instead of the usual three.
- The bonus will now be triple Stardust per capture. This is the perfect time to get Stardust and give your Pokémon more power for the GO Battle League!
- In the place of the Bait Module, the Incenses will last three hours during the event.
- During the event, companion Pokémon with supermate level or higher will find useful items such as Poké Balls. To get the most out of this bonus, consult this help center article, where it is explained how to reach the super-partner level with your partner.
- You will also be able to purchase a special April Community Day one-time purchase bundle, which will include an Elite Charged Attack MT, 30 Ultra Balls, three Super Incubators, and three Incenses for 1280 Pokemon.
