Today is a flashy community day in Pokémon GO

Fletchling Community Day is today in Pokémon GO. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering greater chances of meeting a Shiny Fletchling and giving Talonflame an exclusive attack when it develops during the event. Let’s look at the details.

Here are the full details for the official Fletching Community Day Pokémon GO blog:

Fletchling will occur more frequently in the wild. If you are lucky, you may come across a shiny one!

Silph Researchers currently set the shiny rate during the community day at one in every 25 encounters, so throw up some incense and hunt. Your chance to catch multiple Shiny Fletchling is through the roof!

Develop Fletchinder (the developed form of Fletchling) during the event or up to two hours later to get a Talonflame that knows Incinerate.

Finally we have a useful move of the Community Day. Hopefully this will increase Talonflame’s position in GO Battle League as well as in raids. Time will tell, but keep up with our updated PVP and raid rankings for each new raid boss.

This is Fletchling. The surprise is Fletchling.

There is a special one-time Community Day Box available for 1,280 PokéCoins, featuring 50 Ultra Balls, five Lucky Eggs, a Poffin and an Elite FastTM

For US $ 1 (or the equivalent price level in your local currency), you have access to the Fletchling Community Day exclusive special research story, The Bravest Bird.

Personally, I’m going to pass on the Box, but get the special research story, which offers greater value. However, if you need an Elite FastTM, the Community Day box is definitely a way to make it happen fast.

Bonuses 3 × Catch XP Incense activated during the event will last three hours

With the introduction of Levels 41 – 50, XP has once again become a major driver, even for players at level 40+ Pokémon GO. Jump on the Lucky Eggs to take advantage of this very useful bonus.
