As Pokémon Go wraps up its Might and Mastery season with a grand finale, the Community Day Classic returns featuring the formidable Machop. On May 24th between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM local time, this Superpower Pokémon will dominate spawns, offering trainers another chance to strengthen their Fighting-type lineup with this fan-favorite competitor.
Whether you're looking for a powerful Machamp or hunting for that elusive green Shiny variant, this event provides the perfect opportunity. With increased Machop spawns throughout the event, dedicated trainers might just encounter a rare Shiny version.
Evolve Machoke during the event or before May 31st at 10:00 PM local time to obtain a Machamp with the exclusive Charged Attack Payback. This Dark-type move delivers 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power against Gyms and Raids.
For dedicated players, a $1.99 Special Research ticket unlocks exclusive rewards including a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, bonus Machop encounters, and three Machop with unique Seasonal Backgrounds.
The Timed Research offers additional rewards for active players. Complete post-event tasks to earn a special Might and Mastery-themed Machop encounter with enhanced Shiny rates. Remember—these tasks disappear after May 31st. Don't forget to claim these Pokémon Go codes for extra goodies!
Special event bonuses include triple Catch Stardust, extended three-hour Lures and Incense, plus surprise photobomb encounters. Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases provide additional opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and specially-themed Machop encounters.
Starting May 14th, the Pokémon Go Web Store will offer an Ultra Community Day Box for $1.99 containing two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket.
