Trainers, clear your Saturday arvo! Pawniard is the star of Pokémon GO‘s November Community Day on Saturday 21 November, from 2pm to 5pm local time (so yes, that’s 2pm wherever you are in Australia).
Pawniard will pop up more often in the wild, and if you’re lucky you might find a Shiny one. Evolve Bisharp during the event, or up to four hours after it, and you get a Kingambit that knows Kowtow Cleave.
The bonuses are worth planning around too. You get 2× Candy for catches, quarter Egg hatch distance for Eggs put in an Incubator during the event, three-hour Incense, one-hour Lure Modules and trades that need 50% less Stardust!
Already looking further ahead? The Pokémon GO team has also dated next season’s Community Days: Saturday and Sunday 12–13 December, Saturday 2 January (a Community Day Classic), Saturday 16 January and Saturday 6 February.
The game is sitting at number one on Apple’s top-grossing games chart in Australia right now, so we know plenty of you will be out there. Grab your walking shoes and get catching!
