On November 5th, the Community Day Classic with Dratini will take place in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO show you what bonuses you can expect on this day and how you can use the event optimally for you.
Which event is it about? In addition to the monthly Community Days that take place in Pokémon GO, Niantic also organizes a so-called Community Day Classic from time to time. Just like the normal C-Day, a specific Pokémon is the focus, which can then be found on every corner during the event.
In contrast to the “Original”, however, at the Community Day Classic you will encounter monsters that have already had a C-Day in the past and are now entering the second event round. For this reason, the dragon Pokémon Dratini awaits you on Saturday.
We have summarized all the content of the Community Day Classic with Dratini below.

This is how you best use the Community Day Classic with Dratini
How to prepare: If you want to play all day and get hold of heaps of Dratini, you should definitely make room in your Pokémon bag. So sort it out now. It is best to use the filter function in the game. For example, entering “0*,1*,2*” will only show you monsters that have a rating of 2 stars or less.
During the event, you can also add “age0” to these filters to only see monsters less than 24 hours old.
In addition, you should also have one or the other item ready. So create some space in your item bag and stock up on the most important items.
5 items that are useful to you for the C-Day Classic with Dratini
Balls: The most important item for the Community Day Classic are, of course, balls, otherwise you won’t be able to secure the monsters without them. If you play the full 3 hours, you should have at least 200 balls in stock so that you don’t have to order more immediately.
Here we explain how you get balls in Pokémon GO.
Smoke & Lure Modules: In order to attract a particularly large number of Dratini, it makes sense to use smoke and lure modules. Since both will be active again for 3 hours, one is enough for you. If you want to equip more than one PokéStop with lure modules, you will need more.
Star Pieces: Since you’ll get a Stardust bonus during the Community Day Classic, it’s worth keeping some Star Pieces handy. With these you get 50% more stardust for 30 minutes. You need this if you want to level up Pokémon or swap monsters with a friend.
pineapple berries: If you want to use the event to collect a lot of sweets, you should definitely have a supply of pineapple berries. With these you get double candies when you catch them. This is especially worthwhile if you want to bring your monster to level 50.
Activates the correct Mega Evolution
Why Mega Evolve? If the right Mega Evolution is active during Community Day, you can look forward to another candy for every Dratini you catch.
Which development is the right one? Since Dratini is a Dragon-type Pokémon, you also need a Dragon-type Mega Evolution. To do this, rely on one of the following monsters:
Is the Community Day Classic with Dratini worth it?
Are there shiny dratini? Yes, Dratini is also available in game in his shiny form. During Community Day, the chances of getting a Shiny are usually higher, so you have a good chance of encountering one on Saturday as well. You can recognize it by its pink body.
How strong is Dratini? The Dragon Pokémon from the first generation of games does not have particularly high values itself and is therefore of no interest for use in raids and the GO Battle League. However, it can be further developed into Dragonite via Dragonair.
In contrast to Dratini, Dragoran can score with high attack and stamina values and its defense is also solid. With a Dragon Rod and Dragon Claw moveset, it can’t beat the top Dragon-types Rayquaza and Dialga, but it’s still one of the best Dragon attackers in the game.
Dragoran is also at the forefront of the GO Battle League with a Fire Breath, Dragon Claw, and Powerhulk moveset. This is how it secures the 2nd place in the PvPoke ranking in the Master League.

Who should use the C-Day Classic? The Community Day Classic is particularly worthwhile for players who are still looking for a strong candidate for raids or PvP battles. Dragoran is particularly suitable for use in the master league, but it is also impressive in raids.
In addition, shiny hunters get their money’s worth on this day. Anyone who has not yet been able to secure a dazzling example should not miss this opportunity. You can also use the stardust bonuses to improve your supply.
You can read here why the Community Day Classic with Dratini is an absolute must for many players.
