Pokémon Go Cyndaquil Community Day Classic guide

Pokémon Go is having a Cyndaquil Community Day Classic event on June 22 from 2-5 p.m. in your local time. As expected with a Community Day event, Cyndaquil will spawn in huge numbers with a high chance for it to appear shiny. There are also several other bonuses and perks, which we’ve list out below. How do I catch a shiny Cyndaquil? As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), Shiny rates on Community Days are about 1 in 24, which means that if you keep playing throughout the three-hour window, you should find quite a few shiny Pokémon.

Notably, any Cyndaquil you’ve already tapped will face where your player is standing, so that should help identify which ones you may have already checked. What Community Day move does Cyndaquil’s evolution learn? If you evolve Quilava into Typhlosion from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m. in your local time, it will learn the charged move Blast Burn. If you miss out on evolving it during this period, you will likely be able to evolve it during a Community Day weekend event in December to get Blast Burn. If you don’t want to wait, you can use an Elite TM to get the move. How does Typhlosion do in the meta? Typhlosion is pretty outclassed at this point by many other fire-type attackers, like Reshiram, Heatran, Volcarona, and Darmanitan, just to name a few (and that’s not getting into Megas and shadows, which push it even further down the list). Shadow Typhlosion holds its weight pretty decently as a fire-type attacker if you manage to snag one, if you set it up with Incinerate and Blast Burn. How do I make the most of Cyndaquil Community Day? The following bonuses will be active during Cyndaquil Community Day: * Doubled Stardust for catching Pokémon * Doubled XP for catching Pokémon * Incense lasts three hours * Lure Modules lasts three hours * Cyndaquil special photobombs when taking snapshots That said, you should definitely pop a Star Piece, a Lucky Egg, and an Incense and try to nab some powerful Cyndaquil. If you can Mega Evolve Charizard, Houndoom, or Blaziken, you’ll score additional Cyndaquil Candy per catch. Using Primal Reversion on Groudon works as well.
