Niantic was taking a long time to officially announce the details of the next community day, but once you know what it’s about, you’ll understand that this delay makes a lot of sense. We are going to tell you when it is and what bonuses you will have in the Pokemon GO March 2023 Community Day, which will be led by Slowpoke and Slowpoke de Galar.
Slowpoke needs no introduction. We’ve known him since the first generation of games in 1996 and his slowness has made him the protagonist of dozens of memes. He is water/psychic type, but the Galar variant of him is only psychic type.
When is or what is the date of Slowpoke Community Day in Pokemon GO in March 2023?
We hope Slowpoke and its Galar variant aren’t late for the rendezvous on Saturday March 18, 2023. The event will be between 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm According to the game’s official page.
What is this event about?
During the listed times, Slowpoke and Galar Slowpoke will spawn more frequently in the wild, with a chance to be ‘shiny’.
If we evolve a Slowpoke or a Galarian Slowpoke between 2:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the day of the event we will get a Slowbro, a Galar Slowbro, a Slowking or a Galarian Slowking with the surf charged attack. This deals 65 damage in trainer, gym, and raid battles.
To evolve Galarian Slowpoke into Galarian Slowbro during the event we will need to catch 30 Psychic-type Pokemon while having Galarian Slowpoke as a partner instead of Poison-type Pokemon. This change is temporary.
