Pokemon GO has revealed that Dragon-type Bagon will be the featured Pokemon for the April 2024 Community Day Classic event, which begins April 7. During the event, Pokemon GO players will encounter Bagon more frequently in the wild, and various event bonuses will be active as well.
Pokemon GO Community Day events are another opportunity for trainers to catch new Pokemon and potentially encounter shiny Pokemon. Community Day Classic events typically serve as a rerun of prior Community Day events, allowing players to capture a Pokemon they may have missed out on. Evolving the featured Pokemon in a limited-time window grants an exclusive move that can prove to be useful in Trainer Battles, Gyms and Raids in Pokemon GO.
