Pawmi will be the star of Pokémon Go’s May Community Day on Sunday, May 11th, from 2 PM to 5 PM (local time). This special event provides players the opportunity to catch the shiny variant of Pawmi, along with the chance to secure a Pawmi with perfect IV stats.
The event promises increased spawns of Pawmi, making it easier for players to encounter and capture the shiny form, which notably changes from its original orange to a cute peach color. To enhance chances of finding shiny Pawmi, players are encouraged to use Incense to boost Pawmi spawns.
In addition to catching Pawmi, players can enjoy various bonuses during the Community Day event. One significant bonus is a hatch distance reduction, giving players a great chance to hatch Pokémon more quickly from eggs. Furthermore, if players evolve Pawmo into Pawmot between the specified times, Pawmot will learn the exclusive Fighting-type Charged Attack, Brick Break. This move is available until 10 PM on May 18th but requires players to capitalize on the event hours to minimize the walking distance needed for evolution. During the event, players only need to walk 1km with Pawmo as their buddy, compared to the standard 25km afterward.
While Pawmot has some attributes that players may find appealing, such as its Electric and Fighting-type moveset, it does face challenges in the competitive Pokémon Go meta, particularly in battle leagues where it ranks low. However, it remains a mid-range Electric-type attacker in raid battles.
Overall, the May Community Day promises to be an exciting event for players, offering unique chances to catch and evolve Pawmi while enjoying bonuses that enhance gameplay. Make sure to join in the fun and make the most of this special day!
