Globally this March 23, 2019, the Grass Type Pokemon Treecko will be featured for Pokemon GO's March 2019 Community Day! Evolve Treecko to Sceptile to get an exclusive move and hatch more eggs with 1/4th hatching distance needed during the event!

Community Day Boosted Item Effects & Rewards

Lure Modules Will Last For 3 Hours

During Community Day, lure modules will be active for 3 hours - lasting throughout the entire event. Look for a spot in between many active lures to catch as many Treecko during the event.

4x Incubator Effectiveness

Hatching Eggs will take less distance during the Community Day as Incubators will be 4x more effective! This is the perfect time to hatch long distance eggs such as 10 km or 7 km ones.

Learn A Special Move

Special Move To Be Announced

When Trainers evolve their Treeckos to Sceptile, up to 1 hour after Community Day, the Sceptile will have a special exclusive move. Further details have yet to be announced by Pokemon GO.

Special Move Can't Be Learned By TM

Special moves cannot be learned by using TMs in Pokemon GO. It's best to evolve the featured Pokemon, completing all criteria, during the Community Day to get the featured special move.

Cannot Be Learned When Unlocking 2nd Charge Move

You won't be able to learn the special move even if you "unlock a new move" for your Pokemon. The special move will only be available for the featured Pokemon for the duration of Community Day.

GPS Error Can Stop You From Learning Special Move

Don't evolve the featured Pokemon when you are receiving the "GPS Signal Not Found" error. This may lead to an error and not learn the special move even when it is still Community Day.

Preparations For Community Day

Collect & Save Many Ultra Balls

Save as many Ultra Balls as you can to increase your chances of catching Treecko. Keep turning Poke Stops & Gyms to receive as many items as you can before Community Day.

Using Pokemon GO Plus May Let Swinub Escape

Using a Pokemon GO Plus or Poke Ball Plus during Community Day isn't highly recommended. These devices only use regular Poke Balls and normal throws, giving Treecko the chance to break free & run away.

Collect As Many Pinap Berries As You Can

It's recommended to also collect as many Pinap Berries as you can before the start of Community Day. Using Pinap Berries on Treecko will increase the candy you receive when you capture it, allowing you to evolve it faster!

What Is Community Day?
