Frogadier appears in 4-Star Raids after Community Day ends

Although the August Community Day ends at 5 PM, trainers will be able to enjoy special 4-Star Raid Battles with Frogadier until 10 PM.

If you win one of these Raid Battles, additional Froakie will appear around the Gym that hosted the Raid for the next 30 minutes.

Be aware that these bonus 4-Star Raid Battles cannot be accessed with Remote Raid Passes, so you’ll need to attend them in person.

How to prepare for Pokemon Go Froakie Community Day

If you’re going to take part in a Community Day, there are a few things you can do to prepare and get the most out of the event:

• Purchase Incense to use on the day as they will last longer than usual.
• Save any Lure Modules you have, as they will last for three hours during the event.
• Stock up on lots of Ultra Balls so you can catch plenty of the headline Pokemon.
• Transfer any unwanted Pokemon in advance so you’ll have space for all the catching you’ll do.
• Check the bonuses that run during the event so you can take advantage of them.

There will also be a ticket for the August Community Day Special Research story, A Bubbly Disposition, available to purchase from the in-game shop closer to the event date.

Pokemon Go Froakie Community Day Field Research

There will also be a set of event-exclusive Field Research tasks with rewards, including Stardust, Ultra Balls, and more.

There are currently no plans for Timed Research during the Froakie Community Day.

List of all previous Pokemon Go Community Day headliners

Here are all of the past Pokemon Go Community Day headliners, as well as the exclusive moves they could learn when evolved:

You may notice that every December headliner is missing from this list. That’s because, in December, Niantic traditionally features every Pokemon from the past year as headliners at the same time.

Alongside all of these Community Days, there have been a few Community Day Classics that bring back old headliners. On July 9, Pokemon Go held a Community Day Classic featuring Squirtle.
