Take A Bite Out Of The Weekend With Gible! Community Day Classic September 2026

Hey there, Trainers! This month we’re sticking to the classics; with no standard Community Day with a newer monster available, we’re falling back on the Generation 4 fan favorite, Gible.

The date and time are Saturday September 12th, 2:00pm to 5:00pm local time.

Bonuses you can expect are:

3X Catch XP

Incense launched during event hours will last for 3 hours.

Lure Modules launched during event hours will last for 1 hour.

Photobombs.

For $1.99 or your local equivalent, you can take part in a Special Research story that will grant Gible encounters including special backgrounds. (You can gift these passes to Great Friends for the same price.)

A collection challenge that will gift Garchomp mega energy.

Evolve your Gible or Gabite all the way up to Garchomp to receive the charged attack Earth Power! (STAB)

So, we’ve actually spotlighted this chompy little fellow in the past! You can find those particulars Here and you could even check up on the very first article we did on Gible Here if you’re feeling nostalgic for 2019. (And let’s be real… who isn’t?)

The key addition to the meta since either of those articles is, of course, mega evolution. Mega Garchomp is an absolute beast with a Max CP of 6132, Attack of 339, Defense of 222 and Stamina of 239. It retains both Dragon and Ground types so is still especially weak to Ice, with standard weaknesses to Fairy and Dragon. It also still resists Electric extremely well along with standard resistances to Fire, Poison and Rock.

And that’s all I’ve got for you, Trainers! As always, I wish you the absolute best of luck out there!
