Although both November Community Days have already come and gone in Pokemon GO, there is still one more species of Pokemon that is going to get a special spotlight before December arrives. The Nidoran Research Day aims to give players tons of chances to track down Nidoran (the male and female variants) today and there is some guides research and shiny opportunities to help motivate players to login for the event.
The Nidoran research day is a nice surprise event that is sure to be a pretty popular one. Although Nidoran may not be very relevant to the PoGO PvE metagame, it does have some exciting PvP uses in certain leagues and cups and the increased chance for a shiny is always enough to get the Pokemon GO collectors out and engaged in the game as they add to their shiny dex.
The Nidoran research day event takes place on November 28 (today!) And kicks off at 8am. The one day event spans 14 hours and is scheduled to wrap up at 10pm local time. That means players should have plenty of time to grind through the lengthy list of tasks and hopefully catch a shiny or two along the way.
