Bonus Raid Battles after Community Day

Saturday, April 15, 2023, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time

After the three-hour Community Day event ends, Trainers will be able to take on unique four-star Raid Battles. Claiming victory in one of these raids will cause more Togetic to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes!

We’ve heard Trainer feedback that some people are unable to participate in the 3 hour Community Days due to other commitments. To help address this, during June Community Daythis month, Trainers will be able to work together to extend their Community Day experience by defeating a unique type of Four-Star Raid Battles that causes more Deino to appear for some time!

Please note, the Community Day Bonuses listed above will still only be in effect for the initial three hour period.

Four-star Raid Battles

Togetic will appear in four-star raids!

You can only join these raids using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these Raid Battles.

Togetic

Bonus for completing four-star Raid Battles

Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Togetic, additional Togetic will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!*

*Togetic that appear under these circumstances will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during April Community Day’s three-hour event period.

Timed Research

Timed Research focused on Togetic will be available from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Complete tasks related to catching Pokémon to receive up to 5 Sinnoh Stones!

Field Research

April Community Day–themed Field Research will be available! Catch Togetic to earn rewards such as Stardust, Ultra Balls, and more!
