Pokémon Go Fennekin Community Day Guide

Pokemon Go is hosting a Fennekin Community Day event May 21 from 2pm to 5pm your local time.

As you would expect from a Community Day event, Fennekin will appear in large numbers and will have a high probability of looking shiny. There are also some other bonuses and perks which we list below.

How do I catch a Shiny Fennekin?

According to research by Pokémon community website The Silph RoadCommunity Days shiny rates are around 1 in 24, which means if you keep playing during the three-hour window, you should find some shiny Pokémon.

Fennekin, Braixen and Delphox with their shiny forms in Pokémon Go. All shiny shapes turn silver and purple.

If you’re short on time or Pokéballs, you can pop one incensethen quickly Tap each Fennekin to look for shiny ones and run away from all that aren’t shiny. Specifically, any Fennekin you’ve already tapped will appear where your player is standing, making it easier to see which Fennekin you may have already tapped.

What step to Community Day does Fennekin’s development learn?

If you evolve Braixen into Delphox 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m The loaded move is learned in your local time explosion fire.

If you don’t evolve it during this period, you can probably evolve it to get Blast Burn during a Community Day weekend event in December. If you don’t want to wait, you can use an Elite TM to make the move.

How is Delphox doing in the meta?

Delphox falls behind the biggest Fire PvE attacker, Reshiram, but is still worth buying as a cheap Fire-type. Set it up with fire spin And explosion fire to get a pretty decent Fire Pokemon for your gyms and raids.

Players grumble that Delphox might be used in a PvP Psychic Cup event, but is outperformed by many other Pokémon in regular PvP formats.

How do I make the most of Fennekin Community Day?

The following bonuses will be active during Fennekin Community Day:

Triple Stardust for catching Pokémon
Double candies for catching Pokémon
Double chance for level 31+ Trainers to get XL Candy from catching Pokémon
Incense sticks last three hours
Lure Modules lasts three hours
Fennekin’s special photo bombs when taking snapshots
An additional special trade
Stardust trading costs have been halved

That means you should definitely pop a Star Piece and an Incense and try to get hold of some powerful Fennekin.

If you can Mega Evolution Charizard, Alakazam, Slowbro, Houndoom, Blaziken, Gardevoir, Medicham, Latias or Latiosyou get additional Fennekin candies per catch.

In addition, Niantic still runs special four-star raids 5-10 p.m, where if you complete the Braixen raid, Fennekin will spawn in a 300 meter radius around the gym for 30 minutes. These raids cannot be conducted remotely. If the usual 2-5 p.m. spawn increase doesn’t get you the Braixen you want, you can try taking another chance.
