Pokémon GO: May 2020 Community Day Guide (Seedot)

We explain how to get the most out of the event and get Shiftry with exclusive movement; this time, Recurrent. All the details.

One more month, one more Community Day in Pokémon GO. After a Community Day marked for being the first that could be easily played from home (April with Abra as headliner) it is time to tackle our corresponding day of the May community day in the phenomenon of Niantic for iOS and Android , which has Seedot as protatonist. If you plan to get the most out of this special day and aspire to a Shiftry with Recurrent, keep reading.

Date and details: May Community Day on Pokémon GO

The date is a detail that we already knew: May 24, Sunday, from 11:00 AM to 17:00 (local time). No matter where you read us, when the clock strikes eleven in the morning, Seedot will begin to appear more frequently in a savage way and without leaving home, which is what is truly important if your country or city is still in a state of confinement in most hours of the day.

Niantic wants to facilitate the game from home by increasing both the appearance ratio of wild Pokémon and through different bonuses that we will see below. Noteworthy, incenses will last three hours (180 minutes), so during that time we can attract more Pokémon than normal to the position of our Trainer or Trainer; therefore, we will have a very large quantity of Seedot at our disposal, and it will be possible to find it in shiny / variocolor form! Although only if we have any luck.

Those who are not yet level 40 are surely interested to know that the other featured bonus of this Community Day is a 3X PX in each capture. The most important of the event comes from the hand of the exclusive movement: Recurrent. Seedot is a plant-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III (Hoenn) capable of evolving to Nuzleaf in exchange for 25 candies and Shiftry after 100 candies. To get a Shiftry with Recurrent we must evolve to our Nuzleaf until an hour later from the end of the event; that is, until 5:59 p.m. (local time).

Shiftry with Recurrent: an interesting Pokémon

This movement cannot be learned under normal conditions in Shiftry's evolutionary line. Thus, it is normal for him to learn howling, feint or howling in his rapid movements, while in matters of charged we can find him with foul play, cyclone of leaves and sharp leaf. We recommend the latter. Recurring is a Plant-type move with 8 power and 7.27 DPS; consumes 14 energy. Its use is ideal for Pokémon of type Water, Rock and Earth. As for base stats, Shiftry has 200 ATK, 121 DEF, and 207 resistance.

Recommendations for Community Day May 2020

There are recommendations that we cannot fail to write down in our Community Day guides. To start, a good supply of objects from the days before the event. We know that there will be a greater appearance of Seedot in the six hours of activity, but we believe that it is important that we have at least a couple of incenses and, above all, enough candy to evolve Shiftry without problems in that shiny creature or with good IVs ( or both) that suits us. Therefore, a Pinia Berry or Silver Pinia Berry are options to consider if we want to add more candies than usual.

For its part, a good assortment of Poké Ball, Super Ball and Ultra Ball so that we do not lack tools in the confrontation. If we run into any problems, we opt for Berries Frambu to facilitate the capture and we forget about problems, something especially recommended if we get a shiny: you have to play it safe. Finally, a Lucky Egg for those who want an x6 experience bonus (x3 of the event itself + x2 of the Lucky Egg).

Good luck to everyone when you get your Shiftry Full IVs (100%) shiny with Recurrent!
