Pokémon GO: Event started early with Marill - what to expect

Pokémon GO

The Illuminating Legends X event is currently running in Pokémon Go. Fairy Pokémon appear more often in the wild during the in-game event. In line with this, Niantic has announced limited research with the water and fairy Pokémon Marill - so another Marill event awaits players. The date and time have already been set: the research will start on May 9th at 8 a.m. You will then have until 10 p.m. to complete exclusive tasks to meet Marill. If you are lucky, you might even come across a shimmering specimen.

However: The event went online early and can already be played. Niantic announced on Twitter that the research will run again on Sunday. The developers add that the research is then reset for each trainer who has completed it or has made progress. Basically, you can play the event twice - and get the rewards twice.

"You can also expect field research projects where you will also meet Marill," writes Niantic. If you want to catch Marill and encounter a Shiny specimen, you should stop by Pokémon Go from now on. The Illuminating Legends X event, meanwhile, will run until May 17th. With the event, Niantic introduced a rain lock module in the smartphone hit. This primarily attracts monsters who like rain, i.e. primarily water, bug and electric Pokémon.

Pokémon GO: This is what you can expect at Community Day in May

Pokemon Go Will Finally Have a Gible Community Day in June

Pokemon Go will have its long awaited Gible Community Day in June. Pokemon Go announced the first details for June's Community Day event today on Twitter, announcing that the event will take place on June 6th and will feature the Ground/Dragon-type Pokemon Gible. Gible is one of the rarer Pokemon in Pokemon Go, so it seems that Pokemon Go wanted to give fans advance notice to keep their schedule free during the event. Like other Community Day events, the June 6th Community Day will run from 11 AM to 5 PM local time and will see Garchomp (Gible's fully evolved form) learn an event-exclusive move. Additionally, players will also have an increased chance of finding a Shiny Gible during the event.


Players have wondered for years whether Gible would ever get a Community Day event. While past 'psuedo-Legendary' Pokemon like Dratini, Larvitar, and Bagon all got their own Community Day events, fans were concerned after Pokemon Go added Shiny Gible to the game in December 2019. The lack of a Gible Community Day seemed to directly correlate with the rise in complaints in players about the decreased quality of Community Day Pokemon.


Garchomp is a strong Ground-type Pokemon and its typing makes it a powerful Pokemon to use in Master League PVP battles and in many different raids and gym battles. While not as powerful as other Dragon-type Pokemon, it is still a useful Pokemon to have in your collection. Its popularity could increase even more if Pokemon Go decides to give it a worthwhile move during Community Day.


May's Community Day event will focus on Swablu, a Pokemon that eventually evolves into Altaria when given 400 Candies. Because of the number of candies needed to evolve Altaria, the May Community Day is seen as a good chance for players to fill a hole in their Pokedex. Additionally, Pokemon Go is also hosting the Luminous Legends X event, which adds the Legendary Pokemon Xerneas and several other Pokemon from the Kalos region.
