Pokemon Go is hosting a Larvitar Community Day Classic event January 21 from 2-5pm in your local time.
As expected at a Community Day event, larvitar appears in large numbers with a high chance of appearing shiny. There are also several other bonuses and perks that we have listed below.
How do I catch a Shiny Larvitar?
According to research by Pokémon community website The Silph RoadShiny rates on Community Days are around 1 in 24, meaning you should find some Shiny Pokémon if you keep playing during the three-hour window.

If you’re short on time or Pokéballs, you can pop one incensethen quickly Tap each Larvitar to look for shiny ones and run away from all that aren’t shiny. In particular, any Larvitar you’ve already typed will point to where your player is standing, so this should help identify which ones you may have already checked.
What Community Day move is Larvitar development learning?
If you evolve Pupitar into Tyranitar between 2pm and 7pm local time, it will learn the Smack Down fast movement.
If you miss evolving it during that timeframe, you can likely evolve it during a Community Day weekend event in December to get Smack Down. If you don’t want to wait, you can use an Elite TM to catch the train.
How does Tyranitar fare in the Pokemon Go meta?
Tyranitar tops the non-legendary PvE tier list when it comes to dark and rock moves. you can give knock down and stone edge to turn it into a powerful Rock-type attacker or give it Bite and crunch to deal dark-type damage. If you want to make it even more powerful, try snagging a Shadow Larvitar from a Team Go Rocket member.
Tyranitar can also Mega Evolve, but his Mega Evolution is yet to be added Pokemon Goso stay tuned whenever they add that because it will only make it stronger.
How do I make the most of Larvitar Community Day?
The following bonuses are active during Larvitar Community Day:
- Tripled XP for catching Pokémon
- Incense lasts three hours
- Lure Modules lasts three hours
- Larvitar special photo bombs when taking photos
That means you should definitely pop a Lucky Egg and an Incense and try to get hold of a strong Larvitar.
If you can Mega Evolution Aerodactyl, Steelix or Swampertget additional Larvitar Candy per catch.
