As another month enters, its time for another wonderful and engaging community day for Niantic's hit mobile game, Pokemon GO! Released in 2016, Pokemon GO has drawn in the attention of millions of fans around the world due to its interactive nature and immersive style synonymous with a company like Niantic.
By becoming a Pokemon trainer, players can take the adventure outside and capture Pokemon found in the real world at almost any location. To foster more exploration, community days were created to give fans the chance to explore for extra special goodies and Pokemon, once a month.
For the August community day, the new Pokemon that will be in abundance is the iconic and ever exciting, Magikarp! During the community day, players will have the chance to capture a shiny Magikarp and, if evolved during the event or two hours after, can get a Gyarados that knows Aqua Tail! Event exclusive research tasks will also yield more Magikarp candy and expect 3x more stardust and incense that last for three hours.
In the store, a special $1 one time community day box will give trainers 30 Ultra Balls; an Elite Charged TM, six Star Pieces, and an Incense. There will also be tickets that will be available at a later date for a new Special Research story! Make sure to share your thoughts on the news in the comments below!
Pokémon Go is a free smartphone app that combines gaming with the real world. The game uses location tracking and mapping technology to create an 'augmented reality' where players catch and train Pokémon characters in real locations.
Magikarp will be more abundant on the Pokemon GO app for the August community day on August 8th, 11 am to 5 pm local time!
