Niantic has announced that the Pokémon GO Community Day for September 2024 will feature Ponyta and its Galarian variant. The event, set for September 14, will spotlight these fan-favorite Pokémon, promising an exciting experience for players.
Event Details:
Date and Time: September 14, 2024 (Saturday), likely from 2 PM to 5 PM local time.
Featured Pokémon: Both Kanto Ponyta and Galarian Ponyta will appear more frequently during the event. Players will have the chance to encounter both variants, which can also be shiny.
Niantic teased the event on August 20 with a brief Twitter video showing Ponyta and Galarian Ponyta in a meadow, accompanied by the hashtag #PokemonGOCommunityDay. This hints at a dynamic Community Day with increased spawn rates for these Pokémon.
What to Expect:
Special Move: Evolving Ponyta during the event will likely grant Rapidash a special Community Day move, though the specific attack details are yet to be revealed. This special move bonus typically applies to evolutions performed up to five hours after the event ends.
Limited-Time Bonuses: Expect to see extended Lure and Incense durations, enhanced Candy and Candy XL rewards, and a bonus Special Trade with reduced Stardust costs.
The Ponyta Community Day will kick off the new Pokémon GO season, which begins in early September. Niantic has also announced two more Community Days for the season, scheduled for October 5 and November 10. Additionally, the developer has hinted at the introduction of Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing in Pokémon GO, adding even more excitement for the months ahead.
