A Psychic Evolution
Typically, when evolving a Galarian Slowpoke into Galarian Slowbro, trainers need to catch 30 Poison-type Pokémon while having Galarian Slowpoke as their buddy. But for this Saturday, from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (local time), trainers need to catch 30 Psychic types while adventuring with Galarian Slowpoke.
Bonus Raid Battles
The Community Day event only lasts for three hours, and after it has ended, trainers can still enjoy some activities. From 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (local time), trainers can take on special four-star Raid Battles, featuring Slowpoke and Galarian Slowpoke.
Trainers who get a win in one of these raids make more Slowpoke and Galarian Slowpoke appear around the Gym which hosted the raid for 30 minutes,
By the way, trainers can only join these raids if they have Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes can't be used for these Raid Battles.
Do the Research
Timed Research focused on Slowpoke and Galarian Slowpoke is available from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (local time). Those who complete tasks related to catching these Pokémon can earn as many as four King’s Rocks.
Meanwhile, the March Community Day–themed Field Research has trainers try to catch Slowpoke and earn rewards like King’s Rocks, Stardust, and Ultra Balls, to name a few.
Pokémon GO is available on Android and iOS.
