Froakie will be the featured Pokémon for Pokémon GO's Community Day on August 13th

Niantic has revealed that the Bubble Frog Pokémon, Froakie will be the featured Pokémon for Pokémon GO's Community Day for August 2023. During this event, Froakie will be appearing more frequently in the wild, together with its Shiny variant. The event will be held on August 13th, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm local time.

Immediately following the scheduled end of the Community Day, from 5:00pm to 10:00pm local time, unique Four-Star Raids against Frogadier will be take place. When Trainers defeat the Frogadier Raid Boss, Froakie will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. Trainers can only join these raids using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used. Froakie appearing as a result of these raids will have the same odds of appearing as Shiny as during the main Community Day event.

The following event bonuses will also be active throughout the event:

• 3× Stardust for catching Pokémon.
• 2× Candy for catching Pokémon.
• 2× chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL from catching Pokémon
• Lure Modules and Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) activated during the event will last for three hours.
• Trainers can receive an in-game surprise by taking a few snapshots during Community Day
• One additional Special Trade can be made for a maximum of three for the day (active from 2pm to 10pm)
• Trades will require 50% less Stardust (active from 2:00pm to 10:00pm)

Additionally, Trainers can get event-themed stickers by spinning PokéStops, opening Gifts, and purchasing them from the in-game shop.

A Community Day-exclusive Special Research story, A Bubble Disposition, will be available for purchase at US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in each local currency). This Special Research can also be gifted to any friend with a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher. Community Day-themed Field Research and Timed Research will also be available. Amongst other rewards, players completing the Field Research will be able to earn additional encounters with Froakie, Stardust, and Ultra Balls. The Pokémon GO Web Store will also offer a Ultra Community Day Box at a special discount rate.

This move has 80 power in Trainer Battles, and 90 power in Gyms and in raids. Starting with this event, Greninja will also be able to learn the Fast Attack Water Shuriken. This move has 6 power in Trainer Battles, and 10 power in Gyms and in raids.
