Pokémon GO’s August Community Day Embraces the Exceptional Eevee

Catch as many Eevee as you can during this event, which also features special attacks for Eevee’s Evolutions.

Every Pokémon has its day, but some Pokémon are so exceptional that they need two! That’s why Pokémon GO is embracing the exquisite Evolutionary elegance of Eevee with a two-day August Community Day event taking place Saturday, August 14, 2021, and Sunday, August 15, 2021, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time each day. During this event, Eevee will be appearing more frequently in the wild, and you might find a Shiny one if you’re lucky! Even if you participated in the last Eevee Community Day event in August 2018, there are still plenty of exciting incentives for you to catch and evolve the Evolution Pokémon during this multiday Eevee extravaganza.

During the event, Eggs will require one quarter of their usual Hatch Distance. Plus, Incense and Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours. You can also purchase a ticket for the Community Day–exclusive Special Research—appropriately titled What You Choose to Be—for US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency) in the in-game shop.

In addition, when you evolve Eevee from Friday, August 13, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. to Monday, August 16, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. PDT (GMT −7), its Evolution will know a special attack! Vaporeon will sear the opposition with Scald, Jolteon will electrify with Zap Cannon, Flareon will deliver a knockout with Superpower, Espeon will terrify with Shadow Ball, Umbreon will mystify with Psychic, Leafeon will unleash the verdant power of Bullet Seed, Glaceon will wash away the competition with Water Pulse, and Sylveon will shock with Psyshock. Plus, Eevee caught or hatched during this period will know Last Resort.

Evolving Eevee into Sylveon during the weekend will be far easier than normal, requiring you to earn only seven hearts with Eevee as your Buddy Pokémon instead of the usual 70. You can also complete event-exclusive Timed Research that will reward you with a Mossy Lure Module and a Glacial Lure Module, allowing you to evolve Eevee into Leafeon and Glaceon respectively. And a limited-time Community Day Box containing 50 Ultra Balls, five Incense, an Elite Fast TM, and an Elite Charged TM will be available for 1,280 PokéCoins.

With eight possible Evolutions for Eevee, you’ll want to earn as much Eevee Candy as you can, so be sure to use Pinap Berries when catching Eevee.

Enjoy catching and evolving Eevee, Trainers!
