The next Community Day in Pokémon GO is coming up on Saturday. This time it’s all about Strawickl. We’ll show you how to make the most of the event.
What kind of event is this? A Community Day is an event that takes place every month. There is one Pokémon that is in the foreground and appears in very high numbers. In addition, there is an increased chance of shinys and other bonuses on Community Day.
At Community Day in October 2024, the focus will be on Strawickl, which you can catch here for the first time as a Shiny. The Pokémon comes from the 5th generation and has the bug and plant types. It can develop into Folikon and then Matrifol.
We have put together for you all the important information about Community Day, which didn’t exactly cause a stir in the community, as well as tips on how best to prepare and use it.

Who is the Community Day with Strawickl worthwhile for?
For collectors: Since Strawickl and his developments appear as shiny monsters for the first time in the event, collectors should get their money’s worth from this event. The increased chance of finding Shiny Pokémon also means that getting hold of one shouldn’t be a problem.
For fighters: Unfortunately, Strawickl and its evolutions are not among the Pokémon that you want to use in your raid teams. They are not particularly strong and cannot be found in the list of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Strawickl and the developments have not played a major role in the fighting leagues either. To what extent this will change as a result of the exclusive Community Day attack is currently difficult to assess.
The perfect preparation for Community Day in October 2024
Make space: If you want to catch Pokémon, you need enough space in your Pokémon box. So make sure of this before the event. If there is a shortage during the event, there is a simple trick to quickly sort out Pokémon.
Prepare items: There should also be no shortage of items in the event to get the most out of Community Day.
Which Mega Pokémon are worth the event? You can further increase the number of candies and experience points you receive from catching them with a suitable Mega Evolution.
To receive the bonuses, you must trigger a Beetle or Plant-type Mega Evolution. You can use the following Pokémon:
