Stylish Pokemon are taking center stage for a Fashion Raid Day on April 4.
From 2-5 PM local time, costume-wearing versions of Butterfree, Dragonite, Kirlia, Absol, and other Pokemon will appear more frequently in Raids. On top of being snazzily dressed, each Pokemon may also be shiny.
A few other bonuses will be active, as well. From April 3-4, the number of Remote Raid Passes you can hold is being increased to 20, making it easier to join a battle. You can also receive up to six Raid Passes for free on the day of the event by spinning Gym Photo Discs.
The following Pokemon will be wearing fashionable outfits and appearing in Raids:
This month's Community Day takes place on April 11 and stars the fairy/steel Pokemon, Tinkatink.
From 2-5 PM local time, Tinkatink will appear in the wild more frequently, making this a great opportunity to fill out your Pokedex and stock up on candy. On top of that, you'll have increased odds of encountering a shiny Tinkatink, and you may even catch one that has a special background.
Along with the increased Tinkatink spawns, a few bonuses will be active throughout the event. You'll earn double candy and triple Stardust for catching Pokemon, and any Lure Modules or Incense that you use will last longer than usual. Trades will also cost 50 percent less Stardust, and you can make one more Special Trade during the event.
Last but not least, Tinkatink's final form, Tinkaton, can learn an exclusive attack. Any Tinkatuff that you evolve before 9 PM local time will know the Charged Attack Gigaton Hammer.
