You may want to plot a route in advance, especially if you want to maximize how many Pokemon you can catch (and whatever else you'd like to get done). If you know where good spawn areas are or the location of gyms that you like to raid, be sure to plan in advance where you want to go.

Community Day increases both the spawn rates and shiny rates of specific event Pokemon up to a whopping 1 in 25.

While wild Froakie can be shiny, it's one of the rarest spawns in Pokemon Go. Players are therefore advised to make the most of the upcoming Community Day, as it'll allow them to stock up on shines for Frogadier and Greninja evolutions.

During the March 2023 Let's GO event, lucky players will be able to come across the shiny variant of Meltan when they trigger the Mystery Box. To further facilitate players' chances of encountering Shiny Meltan, the Mystery Box's cooldown period after each use will also be reduced during the Let's GO event.

From September 10, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. to September 15, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. local time, a handful of Pokémon first discovered in Paldea will make their Pokémon GO debuts, including Nymble, Lokix, Pawmi, Pawmo, Pawmot, Bombirdier, Frigibax, Arctibax, and Baxcalibur.

As you can see, due to being Gen 1 Pokémon, the Squirtle family's shiny forms aren't great to say the least. Squirtle simply takes on a lighter blue colouring, with its shell also being a lighter yellow. Wartortle and Blastoise fare a little better thanks to having a more purple-like hue and a darker shell colour.

Every featured Pokémon during a Community Day weekend will offer an exclusive move when evolved to its final evolution. Not only are these exclusive to these weekends, but they are more often than not the best move their third evolution can offer, and can propel them up the meta.

To summarize, the sudden reduction in Pokemon GO's Community Day time limit is not done for the player's benefit.

The shortened time limit will revert Community Days back into boring task grinds.
