Pokemon GO May 2024 Community Day Pokemon Officially Confirmed

Niantic has officially revealed that the Pokemon featured in the upcoming Pokemon GO Community Day is Bounsweet, a Grass-type creature that first appeared in Pokemon Sun and Moon. Pokemon GO’s May 2024 Community Day will be happening on May 19 between 2 pm and 5 pm local time.

The Pokemon GO Community Day is a monthly event that lasts only a few hours. The event offers special bonuses and an increased chance to capture a featured creature. Normally, the evolutions of the featured creature can also learn special abilities if they evolve during the event. In the two previous months, Litten and Bellsprout were featured on Community Day.

Now, Niantic has officially revealed Bounsweet as the Pokemon featured on May’s Community Day. From 2 pm to 5 pm (local time), all Pokemon GO players will have increased chances of finding this creature. Also, evolving Bounsweet’s evolution Steene to Tsareena will give the creature a new attack called Charged Attack High Jump Kick, which has 110 power and a chance to decrease the adversary’s Defense. Catching Bounsweets during the event may also reward players with Stardust and Great Balls due to Field Research events.

• The event will be happening on May 19, 2024, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm local time.
• Bounsweet will appear more frequently in the wild.
• Evolving Steenee into Tsareena during the event or up to five hours afterward will give the Charged Attack High Jump Kick to the creature.
• Exclusive Community Day Special Research Story.
• 2x Candy for catching any Pokemon.
• 1/4 Egg Hatch Distance when Eggs are placed into Incubators during the event.
• 2x chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL from catching any Pokemon.
• Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours.
• Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) activated during the event will last for three hours.
• One additional Special Trade can be made for a maximum of two for the day.
• Trades will require 50% less Stardust.
• Bonus raid battles will be happening on May 19, 2024, from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm local time.

During the upcoming Community Day, gamers can pay $1 to participate in the Bounsweet Community Day Special Research event. Apart from that, gamers will gain access to several event bonuses, such as gaining two Candy whenever they catch a Pokemon, diminished Egg Hatch Distance, trades requiring 50% less Stardust, Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) lasting for more time, and more. After the three-hour event ends, gamers will also be available to participate in four-star bonus raid battles in which Steenee may appear.

One day before the official announcement that Bounsweet would be the featured creature, Niantic unveiled a short teaser for Pokemon GO’s May 2024 Community Day. The teaser confused a few players, as they saw the shadow of a Toucannon together with the Bounsweet in the video, and many were wondering which of the two creatures would be featured in the event.

May is shaping up to be an exciting month for Pokemon GO fans. Besides the upcoming Community Day, Pokemon GO players can acquire a Master Ball in May. Niantic recently revealed that gamers would get a chance to acquire the powerful item during the upcoming Catching Wonders event which will be happening from May 14 to 19, ending around the time that Community Day will begin.
