Pokemon GO consistently delivers exciting events to keep trainers engaged, and the recent Squirtle Community Day Classic is a standout. This event offers an increased Squirtle spawn rate, various bonuses, and exclusive moves. Additionally, trainers can also enjoy a captivating Special Research story with generous rewards for participation.
The Pokemon GO Squirtle Community Day Classic event starts on Sunday, July 9, at 2:00 PM and ends the same day at 5:00 PM local time. During the event or up to two hours afterward, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM, players can evolve Wartortle to obtain a Blastoise with the Water-type Charged Attack, Hydro Cannon. One should also note that Shiny Squirtle is already accessible, so there is an increased chance of encountering it throughout this event.
