The team at Niantic have announced on the Pokemon GO Live website that the next Pokemon Community Day, which begins next month, will feature the cute starter Pokemon, Eevee. This year’s event, which begins on Friday, 13th August, will span two days instead of just one. A new feature this year is that when you evolve Eevee into any of its Evolutions, that Pokemon will know a special attack. Read on for the full details of the August 2021 Pokemon Community Day:
“We’re excited to announce that Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon, will be featured during August’s Community Day event—which will span two days instead of just one! And that’s not all: when you evolve Eevee into any of its Evolutions from Friday, August 13, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. to Monday, August 16, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. PDT (GMT −7), that Pokémon will know a special attack! During this time, evolving Eevee into Sylveon will also require fewer hearts than usual.
In celebration of Eevee Community Day, stickers inspired by Eevee and its Evolutions will be available throughout August! You can get stickers inspired by Eevee by spinning PokéStops, opening Gifts, and purchasing them from the in-game shop, while stickers inspired by Eevee’s Evolutions will be available exclusively from the shop.”
