Pokémon GO’s October 2024 Community Day promises to be sew much fun with Sewaddle playing a star role. On October 5 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, Sewaddle will be appearing more frequently in the wild, and Trainers will even have a chance to encounter Shiny Sewaddle—if they’re lucky. Evolve Swadloon (Sewaddle’s Evolution) during the event or up to five hours afterward to get a Leavanny that knows the Fast Attack Shadow Claw.

You’ll be able to pin your hopes on event bonuses as well, which include:

• 2× Candy for catching Pokémon

• 1/4 Egg Hatch Distance when Eggs are placed in an Incubator during the event

• 2× chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL from catching Pokémon

• Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours

• Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) activated during the event will last for three hours

• One additional Special Trade can be made for a maximum of two per day

• Trades will require 50% less Stardust

And you’ll really be able to thread the needle of fun by taking part in Sewaddle Community Day–themed Special Research, available for US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), as well as by completing Field Research tasks to earn rewards like Stardust, Great Balls, additional encounters with Sewaddle, and more.

Bonus Raid Battles

Spin over to your nearest Gym for four-star Raid Battles featuring Swadloon from 5:00 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time on Community Day. Once the battle’s all stitched up, more Sewaddle will appear for 30 minutes around the Gym that hosted the raid. These four-star raids are not accessible via Remote Raid Passes—they can only be accessed with Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes.

Have awl the fun this Community Day, Trainers!
