Not to be out done by offering up Shiny Tyranitars and Larvitars, it has now been revealed that the Alolan Diglett and Geodude variants will be released soon. Pokemon Go Trainers will see the new Pocket Monsters appear during Pokemon Go Fest in July, although Niantic have hinted that more reveals are also in the works. "Pokémon GO Fest 2018 on July 14 and 15 will be the next stop for fun," Niantic confirms. "Trainers without a ticket to the event won’t be able to see any Pokémon or PokéStops in Lincoln Park, but Trapinch, Feebas, and other Pokémon featured in the habitats of Pokémon GO Fest will appear more frequently all over the world during that weekend. "The Cheering Pokémon, Plusle and Minun, will also appear more frequently worldwide as Trainers complete themed Field Research tasks. Catching Plusle and Minun will result in bonus Stardust, and lucky Trainers might even discover their Shiny versions! "The Alolan forms of Diglett and Geodude will be in on the fun, too. Beginning that weekend Alolan Diglett and Alolan Geodude will be appearing globally for the first time in Pokémon GO. Don’t miss the chance to encounter the unique forms of these Pokémon." The new Pokemon Go Community Day kicks off today Niantic have put together a new bundle of items that can be bought from the in-game shop. Part of today’s Pokemon Go Community Day celebrations, Trainers are now seeing new boxes popping up that are offering some decent items. The Community Day three-hour event is already ongoing in some parts of the world, with fans sharing the latest news. (As usual, the next Pokemon Go Community Day event takes place between 10am and 1pm BST in the UK.) This includes the content of those special Community Day boxes, which should be available to everyone during the event. For those wanting a sneak-peek, Trainers are reporting these items as part of the new PokeCoin bundles: Six Lucky Eggs, four Premium Raid Passes, 20 Pinap Berries and 30 Ultra Balls. This bundle costs around 480 PokeCoins to buy and will be available to those Trainers heading out to catch some Shiny Larvitars. Pokemon Go future Community Day contenders Thu, August 9, 2018 POKEMON Go Community Days are a great way to bag powerful Pocket Monsters that are harder to evolve. Play slideshow 1 of 8 However, while some months have seen some pretty striking differences in the Shiny forms, June’s tweaks are a lot more underwhelming. The changes in colour between all three Pokemon evolutions isn’t that striking and fans will have to keep a close eye on if they actually snag a shiny Larvitar. It was also recently announced the network issues affecting the Asian and Oceanic launch of the new Community Day, has led to the hours being extended. “Thank you for your patience as we continue to investigate and address a variety of service-related issues,” a message from the Pokemon Go support team on Twitter reads. “As a result of these issues, Pokemon Go Community Day has been extended 2 hours in the Asia-Pacific region. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.” And while new shiny Pokemon are the big draw, there will also be a bunch of other rewards available to Trainers. Trainers will also have access to a 3× Catch XP, as well as 3-hour Lures for those hoping to attract as many Pocket Monsters as possible.

Niantic continues its monthly Community Day events for Pokémon Go with its June event starring Larvitar. Community Days allow for players access to rare Pokémon and special in-game bonuses that can help trainers level up or power up their own Pokémon. Players will have only a few hours to take advantage of the Larvitar Community Day event so here is all the information they'll need including when it starts/ends and what bonuses they can get. WHEN DOES COMMUNITY DAY START AND END? The Pokémon Larvitar Community Day begins Saturday, June 16 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. EDT. SHINY LARVITAR? Pokémon Go is slowly introducing every Shiny Pokémon into the popular mobile game. Each of the past Community Days (Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Dratini, Mareep, Charmander) has brought the spotlight Pokémon's shiny into the game and Larvitar should be no exception. Niantic hasn't confirmed that Shiny Larvitar is coming to Pokémon Go, but fans should expect to find it. Once the Pokémon Go Community Day begins, we will update with confirmation. SMACKDOWN Similar to the various Shiny Pokémon, Niantic introduces exclusive moves during the Community Day events. For the Larvitar event the Rock-type attack, Smackdown will be learned by any of the Pokémon that are evolved to Tyranitar during the three-hour window. Like past Community Days, Larvitar caught prior to the start of the event and evolved to Tyranitar will learn Smackdown. Smackdown in Pokémon Go is a quick move with a base power of 16. OTHER BONUSES During the Larvitar Community Day, Pokémon Go players can take advantage of some of these in-game bonuses. Three times the experience will be given for catching Pokémon as well as Lures lasting for three hours instead of the usual one. Are you excited to take part in the Larvitar Community Day?
