Pokemon Go’s Next Event Adds New Shiny

Pokemon Go‘s August Community Day takes place this weekend, but that isn’t the only event beginning in the game soon. Niantic has announced a new gift-themed event, which is set to kick off on Monday, August 5, and it’ll introduce yet another new Shiny Pokemon to the game.

From August 5-19, the number of gifts you can carry in your inventory will be increased to 20. Additionally, Niantic will be upping the number of gifts you can open each day to 30. Any Eggs you receive from these gifts will also only require 2 km to hatch, but the Pokemon that can appear from them are those that can normally be found in 7 km Eggs.

One such Pokemon is Bonsly, the baby form of Sudowoodo. Not only will you be able to hatch it from 2 km Eggs, you’ll also have a chance of hatching a Shiny Bonsly for the first time. You can’t tell what Pokemon will hatch from an Egg before you begin incubating it, so you’ll need to exchange a lot of gifts and hatch as many Eggs as you can if you’re hoping to add a Shiny Bonsly to your collection.

In the meantime, August’s Community Day takes place this Saturday, August 3. The featured Pokemon this time will be Ralts. Throughout the event, Ralts will spawn in the wild much more often than it normally does, and you’ll have a chance of encountering a Shiny Ralts for the first time. If you can evolve it into one of its final forms, Gardevoir or Gallade, up to an hour after the Community Day ends, the Pokemon will learn the event-exclusive move Synchronoise.

That’s not all that’s happening in Pokemon Go right now. Team Rocket recently invaded the game, and now they have even more kinds of Shadow Pokemon in tow. The Legendary Rayquaza also recently returned to Raid Battles. The Pokemon will be available again until September 2, and this time, you’ll have a chance to capture a Shiny Rayquaza.
