The Community Day this month features the psychic and fairy-type Pokémon Ralts. On the first Saturday in August, you'll have 3 hours to catch all the Ralts you can. Starting at 4pm, and finishing at 7pm (local time), the spawn rate of Ralts will be greatly increased, and you'll also have a chance of finding a shiny Ralts if you're lucky!

Ralts senses the emotions of people using the horns on its head. This Pokémon rarely appears before people. But when it does, it draws closer if it senses that the person has a positive disposition.

Event bonuses

• 1/4 egg hatch distance. This gives you a chance to work through all those eggs you've been collecting. A 10km egg will take only 2.5k during this event.
• 3-hour lures. Keep those lures active for longer - this lets you have just one lure active throughout the whole event.

Exclusive move

Either Gardevoir or Gallade will be able to learn an exclusive move whilst this event is active. The move will be announced nearer the date, but it usually ends up being a powerful move.

Do note, in order to learn the exclusive move, the Ralts must be caught or evolved during the Community Day hours. The TMs will not give you a chance of obtaining the exclusive move.

Get out and play together in your local community parks on Pokémon GO Community Day.
