July’s Community Day Decided By You – Gastly

Boo, Trainers! This month’s Community Day star is the fantastic phantom, Gastly!

As you know, a poll was conducted via the official Pokemon GO Twitter feed to find out which of four possible Pokemon we wanted for June and July’s Community Days. Weedle was the winner for June and Gastly came in second, setting it up for July’s event.

Date and time are Sunday, July 19th from 11:00am until 5:00pm. A total of six hours. And what kind of ghostly goodies can we expect?

  • Incense launched during the Community Day event time will last three hours.
  • One quarter hatch distance for Eggs loaded into Incubators during event hours.
  • A Community Day limited time item box will be available in the store. It’s got 30 Ultra Balls, an Elite Charged TM, two each Incense and Super Incubators.
  • For $1 or your local equivalent there will be access to a Special Research story. The Great Gastly! (Nice literary reference, there, Niantic. Love it.)
  • Photobombs! If it’s the same as the last few Community Days, you’ll get a total of 5.
  • Gastly will be spawning more frequently than ever before and of course, you may be lucky enough to snag a Shiny Gastly.
  • Evolve a Haunter during event hours or up to two hours after to gain a Gengar who knows Shadow Punch, a nifty STAB Attack.
  • I feel like opinions on this one are a little divided simply because Gastly has been available in its Shiny form for a while. That’s why I’m glad that we’re getting a Special Research storyline for a little extra fun for those who maybe already have this Pokemon in its rarest variant.

    If you want to see a deeper dive into what makes this Pokemon so cool, you can check out this article as it has a full Spotlight section on each of the four choices we had available to us for this Community Day.

    And here’s something extra! Mega Evolution is coming to Pokemon GO soon! Check out how sweet Gengar’s Shiny Mega form is!

    As always, Trainers, I wish you the absolute best of happiness, health and luck!
