As Pokémon Go gears up for a thrilling end to the Might and Mastery season, the Community Day Classic returns to shine a spotlight on the powerhouse, Machop. Mark your calendars for May 24th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when the Superpower Pokémon will take center stage, giving you a golden opportunity to strengthen your Fighting-type lineup with this classic favorite.
Whether you've missed out on a formidable Machamp or are eager to catch that elusive Shiny Machop, this event is your chance to shine. Machop will appear more frequently in the wild, and with a bit of luck, you might just encounter a Shiny one in Pokémon Go.
Evolving a Machoke during the event or up until May 31st at 10:00 pm local time will grant you a Machamp that knows the Charged Attack Payback, a potent Dark-type move delivering 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power in raids and Gyms.
For those seeking a deeper dive into the event, a Community Day exclusive Special Research story will be available for just $1.99. This premium experience offers a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, additional Machop encounters, and three Machop with a Seasonal Special Background.
The event also includes Timed Research, providing further motivation to log in. Complete these tasks post-event to earn a Machop encounter featuring a Might and Mastery-themed Special Background, along with increased Shiny odds. Remember, these tasks expire on May 31st. Don't miss out on redeeming *Pokémon Go codes* to grab a host of freebies!
Event bonuses include 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Additionally, Field Research and PokéStop Showcases will offer more opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with special backgrounds.
To cap it all off, the Pokémon Go Web Store will launch an Ultra Community Day Box for $1.99 starting May 14th, packed with two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket.
