Community day special research story
As usual for community days a special research story is available to buy or gift for $1 US or equivalent currency value. The research story will be called Rock ‘n’ Roll
Featured Attack
Evolving Boldore during the event or up to five hours after to get a Gigalith that knows Meteor Beam
Meteor Beam is a charged move that does:
- Trainer battles: 120 power
- Gyms and Raids: 140 power
Bonus raid battles
As has become the norm, additional 4* raid battles will take place for 5 hours after the community day “ends” from 5pm-10pm
These raid battles require you to be in person to complete, remote raid passes cannot be used. Completing these raids will spawn Roggenrola around the gym withing a 300 meter radius for 30 minutes for anyone wanting additional spawns
Stickers
As usual event themed stickers can acquired from gifts, spinning stops and purchasing in the in-game store
Thoughts on this community day
Roggenrola is a good Pokemon and a nice choice to have as a community day
The effectiveness of Meteor Beam will depend on the energy required to use it
Roggenrola will only require 50 candy to completely evolve if it is traded before evolving it to its final form; Gigalith
The times of this event are strange especially as the Northern Hemisphere is starting to turn colder and darker sooner as days get shorter.
Running additional raids until 10pm is interesting and remains to be seen how many people will be interested in taking part that late in an evening
The shiny for Roggenrola is one of the nicer shinies in the game
