Pokémon GO: Community Day March with Flegmon starts tomorrow

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

Community Day with Flegmon runs in Pokémon GO on March 18th. We at MeinMMO will show you everything to do with bonuses, event content and the Shiny. We’ll also tell you how to make the most of the day.

Which event is it about? Every month, a so-called Community Day takes place in Pokémon GO, which focuses on a specific Pokémon. This can then be found more frequently in the game and the chances of a shiny are also increased during this time. The event is accompanied by various bonuses.

On Saturday it’s that time again and the Community Day awaits you with Flegmon and his Galar form. We will show you what awaits you on this day and how you can best use the day for you.

The Community Day with Flegmon and its Galar form extends over 3 event hours like the events in the months before. Only the exchange bonuses and the special attacks as well as the limited research and the changed conditions when developing Galar Flegmon are also available for another 5 hours after the event.

Content in the in-game shop: You can also find various content in the in-game shop on the occasion of the community das with Flegmon. The following awaits you:

  • Event ticket for the special research “Field Notes: Fantastically Phlegmatic” on Flegmon for just under 1 euro
  • New event stickers
  • New Avatar Items (Flegmon Hat, Flegmon Rod Shirt)
  • These are the new event stickers for C-Day with Flegmon

    Bonus Raid Battles: If you haven’t had enough of Flegmon and his Galar form after the Community Day, you can compete against both monsters in the level 4 raids. The raids can only be played on site again, but after a victory they bring you more spawns around the arena for 30 minutes. The shiny chances are just as high as on C-Day.

    For whom is the Community Day with Flegmon worthwhile?

    Can you catch Shiny Flegmon? Yes, during the Community Day, with a little luck, you can catch both Flegmon and, for the first time, his Galar form as Shiny. Experience has shown that the chance of this happening will be higher on this day. In order to also secure (Galar) Lahmus and (Galar) Laschoking as Shiny, you have to develop them accordingly.

    Flegmon, Lahmus and Laschoking as well as the Galar forms each normal (left) and as Shiny (right)

    How strong is Flegmon? Flegmon and its further developments Lahmus and Laschoking are not particularly strong in their normal form or in the Galar form. They are less suitable for use in raids and the GO battle league.

    However, Sluggish also has a Water-type and Psychic-type temporary Mega Evolution that is slightly stronger. This could be useful to you in one or the other raid.

    Who should use the C-Day? The Community Day with Flegmon is particularly suitable for shiny hunters. Especially Galar-Flegmon will be found in its dazzling form for the first time. The Psycho-Pokémon usually only hatches from 7 km eggs, which is why experience has shown that you will only find it as a Shiny after the event with a good deal of luck.

    So if you want a complete Shiny collection, you shouldn’t miss the event. You may also encounter a strong Flegmon that you can evolve into Mega Slowbro. Otherwise, you should rather rely on the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

    But you shouldn’t ignore the bonuses on this day either. They are perfect for improving the (XL) candy supply and for farming lots of experience points. You need this on the way to level 50.

    We show you a selection of the best attackers in the following video:

    This is the best way to use the Community Day with Flegmon

    Creates space: In order to get the most out of the event, you should make some space in your Pokémon bag. Because that’s the only way you can collect lots of Flegmon and Galar Flegmon and secure the candy and XP bonuses.

    In order to sort your storage as quickly as possible, it makes sense to use the tag and filter function in the game. by entering “0*,1*,2*” you only get monsters that have a maximum of 2 stars. To send more monsters during the event, you can combine this search function with the entry “age0” and you will only be shown Pokémon that are not older than 24 hours.

    This is how you can use the filters

    Which items are important? In addition to a lot of space in the Pokémon bag, you also need the right items. You need the following:

  • Balls: If you want to catch properly that day, then you should have as many balls ready as possible. We recommend you at least 200 pieces. Hyper Balls in particular are great for catching unruly specimens.
  • pineapple berries: If you want to get a lot of candies, then you should feed your monsters pineapple berries before catching them. These double the amount of candy in that catch.
  • Lucky Eggs: To make even better use of the XP bonus when catching, you can set yourself a lucky egg. This doubles your experience points for 30 minutes. This is also useful in combination with increasing the friend level. It’s best to talk to the other trainers here.
  • Smoke & Lure Modules: To attract even more specimens, you can use Smoke and Lure Modules. Both last 3 hours and thus cover the entire event.
  • Which Mega Pokémon is required? To get another candy bonus, it’s a good idea to do a Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO. This must have the same type as the monster you want to catch. Since Flegmon and Galarian Flegmon are both Psycho-types, you should choose one of the following monsters:

  • mega lameness
  • Mega Latias
  • Mega Latios
  • Mega Simsala
  • Mega Gardevoir
  • Mega Medialis
  • How are you enjoying Community Day with Flegmon and Galarian Flegmon? Will you try to secure enough dazzling specimens? And which bonus do you like best? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.

    There is still a lot to do in Pokémon GO in the coming days. We’ll show you all the events in March and which ones are particularly worthwhile.
