Pokémon Go Magmar Community Day: start times and best movesets

Pokémon Go organized on a Magmar Community Day November 21 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in your local time zone.

This is the best time to snap up some shiny pink magmar. While Magmar and Magmortar aren’t particularly “meta” Pokémon, they have a great shine. So, you can also try to get hold of one or two.

How do I get a Shiny Magmar?

Since magmar is popping up all over the place, just tap on each magmar you see until you get a shiny one. You’ll find one sooner or later as the Shiny rate increases to around one in 24 on Community Days.

What special move does Magmortar learn?

When Magmortar is developed on November 21, 11 am to 7 pm, it will learn Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt isn’t particularly well suited for PvP or raid on Magmortar. You should therefore avoid developing it further during the period.

How can I get the most out of this Community Day?

During the event, eggs hatch four times as fast when placed in incubators, and incense lasts three times as long. Shove all of your eggs into incubators during the event and catch a ton of magmar to make the most of it.

Magmortar is unsuitable for PvP and is a good fire-type raider, but there are much better options. It only cracks the ranks among the other fire types when it’s Shadowmagort. So grab a Shadow Magmar if you see one when you take down Team Go Rocket baddies.

Give Magmortar to ambush Turn fire with either Fire strike or Fire strike.

At the end of the day, if you decide to go with Shiny Magmar, use one of the new search strings. Sort your mons byrecently“Use the icon at the bottom right and enter”4 *”In the search box above. This will let you know if you have 100% IV Magmar. Most people won’t be that lucky, so next you want to “3 *”In the search box that shows all current mons that are 80% or more. Rate these to see which one is best, then develop your new buddy further!
