In Pokémon GO, Community Day in July 2023 brings the water Pokémon Quapsel. And that shouldn’t be underestimated.
What is this event? Community Day always brings a monster that takes center stage for several hours and appears throughout the game. In addition, the shiny rate is increased and you get some bonuses on top of it.
In July, this monster is Quapsel.
When is Community Day? Community Day with Quapsel starts on Sunday, July 30, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. local time and runs until 5:00 p.m.
Here’s a summary of why you shouldn’t miss it.
Quapsel brings powerful option for Battle League, Community Day delivers bonuses
What makes Quapsel interesting? The little tadpole Pokémon doesn’t look particularly impressive at first, and its evolutions don’t play a major role as attackers in Pokémon GO raids either.
But the development Quappo can convince elsewhere, namely the PvP battle league. And the Community Day brings another really strong upgrade for Quapsels developments.
In the Pokémon GO subreddit TheSilphRoad, Quappo’s “Counter” is causing a stir. That would go from a decent fight league contender to an absolute meta pick, explains one user (via Reddit). PvP expert JRE47 also emphasizes, based on PvPoke simulations, that Quappo is becoming really powerful in the league (via Reddit).
So if you like to be in the fighting league, you should strike here. In addition, some users emphasize that they have had very good experiences with Quappo in the fight against Team Rocket (via Reddit).
What other bonuses are there? As always, there are more Community Day bonuses, which we summarize here.
There will also be special 4-star raids after the event. There you will face Quaputzi, and if you defeat it, more Quapzi will spawn around the arena for 30 minutes with an increased Shiny rate. These raids are available from 17:00 to 22:00.
Otherwise, July brings a lot for the game. Here you will find an overview of all events in July 2023 at Pokémon GO.
