Pokémon Go enthusiasts are gearing up for an exciting Goomy Community Day event scheduled for Sunday, June 9, from 2-5 p.m. local time. During this special event, players can expect to encounter a plethora of Goomy spawns, with an increased likelihood of encountering the coveted shiny version of this adorable dragon-type Pokémon.
As with previous Community Day events, the Goomy Community Day will offer players various bonuses and perks to enhance their gameplay experience. In addition to the increased spawn rates of Goomy, trainers can look forward to the following benefits:
- Tripled Stardust for catching Pokémon
- Doubled candy rewards for catching Pokémon
- Doubled chance for trainers at level 31 and above to receive XL candy from catching Pokémon
- Extended duration of Incense and Lure Modules to three hours
- Special Goomy photobombs when taking snapshots
- One additional special trad
For those eager to add a Shiny Goomy to their collection, the odds are in their favor, with shiny rates typically estimated at around 1 in 24 during Community Day events. To maximize your chances of encountering a shiny Goomy, consider using Incense to attract more Pokémon and swiftly check each Goomy for its shiny variant.
During the Community Day event, evolving Sliggoo into Goodra between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. local time will allow Goodra to learn the charged move Thunder Punch. Players who miss this evolution window can anticipate another opportunity during a Community Day weekend event in December. Alternatively, an Elite TM can be used to teach Goodra Thunder Punch without delay.
While Goodra may not be a top choice for raiding and gym battles compared to other dragon-type Pokémon like Salamence, Dragonite, or Garchomp, it finds its niche in PvP battles. Setting up Goodra with Dragon Breath, Power Whip, and Aqua Tail can provide solid move coverage for PvP encounters.
Make the most of the Goomy Community Day event by utilizing the special bonuses and features available exclusively during this limited-time event. Whether you’re aiming to catch a shiny Goomy, evolve it into a powerful Goodra, or enhance your PvP team, Goomy Community Day offers a host of exciting opportunities for Pokémon Go trainers.
