Pokémon Go: How To Prepare For Swablu Community Day

Swablu is the newest Community Day happening in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how they can prepare for this event. Community Day is a monthly event where a specific Pokemon has an entire day dedicated to itself. With these events, players are given the opportunity to capture a Shiny version of this Pokemon (sometimes for the very first time). For the month of May, the entire event will be focused on Swablu, the Flying-type Pokemon from Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. This guide will show players how they can prepare for this event.

The Swablue Community Day will take place on Saturday, May 15th from 11 am local time to 5 pm local time. During this period, Swablu will have its spawn rate increased drastically. Since Swablu only evolves once, players will only need to worry about capturing 2 of them to complete the entire family line. Not only that, but players will be able to encounter a Mega Altaria since it will be making its debut in the game on the same day. For players interested in PvP, Mega Alteria will be an excellent addition to their team. This guide will show players how they can prepare for this Community Day.

How To Prepare For Swablu Community Day in Pokemon Go

Here are a few ways for players to prepare for this event.

• Use Your Incubator: During this Community Day, players will have their Hatch Distance cut to 1/4th. This will make it easier to get through your eggs faster than ever before.
• Consider The Special Research: The game will provide a new Special Research Task for $1 to purchase. This will give the player additional tasks to complete to keep the game interesting during the event.
• Evolve Before It’s Over: Make sure to evolve the Swablu before the end of the deadline. This Altaria will learn Moonblast, an exclusive Fairy-type move for this event.
• Tap and Go: If you’re strictly looking for Shiny Pokemon, avoid capturing them and just tap to see if they are Shiny or not. If not, run away and head over to the next one. This will save the player tons of time between encounters.

Community Day is easily one of the best parts of the Pokemon Go experience. Everyone is working together for a common goal and that one being capturing a Shiny Swablu. Mega Altaria raids will be all over so make sure to take advantage of the active player base during this event. Players should aim to end with enough Mega Energy to get the Mega Altaria.

Pokemon Go is available now on iOS and Android.
