As Pokémon Go gears up for a thrilling end to the Might and Mastery season, the spotlight turns to the Community Day Classic featuring the beloved powerhouse, Machop. Mark your calendars for May 24th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when Machop, the Superpower Pokémon, will be appearing more frequently in the wild. This is your golden opportunity to enhance your Fighting-type roster with this classic favorite.
If you're aiming to catch a formidable Machamp or are on the hunt for that elusive Shiny Machop, this event is your prime chance. With increased spawn rates, you'll have a better shot at adding a Shiny Machop to your collection in Pokémon Go.
Evolving a Machoke during the event window or up until May 31st at 10:00 pm local time will grant you a Machamp with the Charged Attack Payback. This Dark-type move packs a punch with 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power in raids and Gyms, making it a valuable asset to your team.

Don't miss out on the Timed Research, which adds an extra layer of excitement. By completing tasks post-event, you can earn a Machop encounter featuring a Might and Mastery-themed Special Background, along with increased Shiny odds. Remember, these tasks expire on May 31st, so act fast! And don't forget to use Pokémon Go codes to snag some freebies!
Event bonuses are designed to enrich your experience, including 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Engage in Field Research and PokéStop Showcases to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with unique backgrounds.
To cap off the excitement, the Pokémon Go Web Store will launch an Ultra Community Day Box for $1.99 starting May 14th. This box includes two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket, providing even more value for your investment.
