Pokémon Go is hosting a Sprigatito Community Day event on January 5th from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (local time).
As expected at a Community Day event, Sprigatito will appear in large numbers and will most likely look shiny. There are also a few other bonuses and perks that we have listed below.
How do I catch a shiny Sprigatito?
According to old research from the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback machine), Shiny rates on Community Days are around 1 in 24, meaning that if you keep playing during the three-hour window, you should find quite a few Shiny Pokémon.
If you're short on time or Poké Balls, you can pop an incense stick and then quickly tap each Sprigatito to look for shiny Sprigatitos and run away from any that aren't shiny. In particular, any Sprigatitos you have already tapped will be directed to your player's position, making it easier to see which Sprigatitos you may have already checked.
What Community Day step does Sprigatito's development learn?
If you evolve Floragato into Meowscarada between 2:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. your local time, it will learn the charged move Frenzy Plant.
If you fail to evolve it during this period, you can probably evolve it during a Community Day weekend event in December to get Frenzy Plant. If you don't want to wait, you can do the move with an Elite TM.
How does Meowscarada perform in the meta?
Meowscarada isn't particularly good for PvP, but is actually a pretty good grass attacker for raids and gyms. Set it up with foliage And Frenzy Plant and it will cause great harm. It still doesn't outperform the best Grass attackers like Kartana or some of the Shadow and/or Mega Pokemon, but it gets the job done.
How do I make the most of Sprigatito Community Day?
The following bonuses will be active during Sprigatito Community Day:
That said, you should definitely pop a Star Piece and an Incense Stick and try to grab some powerful Sprigatito.
If you can mega evolve Venusaur, Sceptile, or Abomasnow, you will receive additional Sprigatito Candies per catch. Using Primal Reversion on Groudon also results in the same effect.
