Best tips and tricks for Pawmi Community Day in Pokemon GO

Do the following things to make the most out of the event:

Get together with friends

Community Days are most fun when you play with friends. Moreover, the higher the number of people with you, the greater the number of spawns, increasing your chances of finding shinies and hundos. If you check-in to a local community event, you will be eligible to receive Pokémon GO Campfire Check-in Timed Research for the May Community Day.

Mega Evolve an Electric-type

The event already gives you additional Candy for catching Pokemon. Having a Level 3 Mega like Primal Kyogre, Mega Ampharos, or Mega Manectric will give you even more.

Keep hatching Eggs

The 1/4 Egg hatching distance is a big boon, especially if you are trying to clear out the pesky 10 and 12 km Eggs from your inventory.

Get Pawmot with the exclusive attack

While Brick Break Pawmot has limited usage right now, it might improve in the future. Get one during 2025's May Community Day in Pokemon GO, so you don't have to expend an Elite Charged TM later.
