Pokemon GO Squirtle Community Day Classic makeup event announced for July 2023

Pokemon GO Squirtle Community Day Classic is set to undergo a do-over, with Niantic recently announcing a makeup event for the same. The initial occasion was marred for plenty of trainers due to technical issues involving logging through the Pokemon Trainer Club. The makeup event has been set for later in July 2023 and will be available to all trainers.

The Squirtle Community Day Classic event originally took place on Sunday, July 9, 2023, from 2 pm local time to 5 pm local time. Social media was soon filled with plenty of players complaining about the PTC login issue. Niantic acknowledged the troubles and encouraged trainers to use other methods to log in.
