Hey, Trainers! This month’s Community Day focuses on one of the original 151 and its Island cousin: Sandshrew!
Sandshrew is the first Pokemon I ever caught in a Pokeball back in the late 90s while borrowing my friend’s Blue Version Cartridge. You never forget your first capture and the excitement of snagging this roly-poly little chonk sent my life down a very particular path. As such, I’m pretty excited to snag some shrews!
The date is Sunday, the 13th of March, 11:00am till 5:00pm.
Bonuses we can expect are:
Now, if you’re thinking to yourself “I vaguely thought we’d already had some kind of Sandshrew Community Day?” you’d be almost right! Back in the before-times of 2018, before the pandemic, Niantic actually gave us Sandshrew as a potential option for one of their Choose Your Own Adventure-style Community Days. The options were Squirtle, Weedle, Sandshew, Gastly and as such, Sandshew is the only one of these to not have gotten their time in the spotlight.
As such, you can find my Spotlight on them Here!
