Machop Returns: Pokemon GO Community Day Classic Heats Up May 2025!
Get ready, Trainers! Machop, the Superpower Pokémon, is making a triumphant return to Pokémon GO in the May 2025 Community Day Classic. Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 24th, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, as this event promises a thrilling opportunity to catch the Fighting-type favorite and bolster your teams.
This Community Day Classic isn't just about catching Machop; it's about unlocking its full potential. Evolve Machoke during the event (or until May 31st) to get a powerful Machamp armed with the exclusive charge attack, Payback. This Dark-type move boasts 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 in Gyms and Raids, offering valuable coverage against Psychic and Ghost-type opponents.
Here's a breakdown of what you can expect during the Machop Community Day Classic:
- Increased Machop Spawns: Machop will appear more frequently in the wild, giving you ample chances to add it to your collection. And if you're lucky, you might encounter a Shiny Machop!
- 3x Catch Stardust: A fantastic bonus to help you power up your Pokémon and make the most of the event.
- Extended Incense and Lure Modules: Incense and Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours.
- Surprise Snapshots: Take a few snapshots during Community Day for a special in-game surprise!
- Field Research and Showcases: Complete Community Day-themed Field Research for rewards like extra Machop encounters and participate in PokéStop Showcases featuring Machop.
For dedicated Trainers, there's also a special research story available for US$2.00 (or the equivalent in your local currency). This grants access to exclusive rewards, including a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and encounters with Machop featuring a Seasonal Special Background.
But the Fighting-type frenzy doesn't stop there! May 2025 is packed with Fighting-type Pokémon events. Following Machop's Community Day Classic, Gigantamax Machamp is debuting on May 25th. Plus, trainers can also participate in Pawmo's Community Day, offering the chance to get a Pawmot that knows Brick Break.
Tips for a Successful Community Day:
- Plan Your Mega Evolution: Mega evolve a Fighting-type Pokémon for bonus Candy and XP when catching Machop.
- Don't Catch Too Early: Wait until the event starts to ensure wild Pokémon turn into Machop.
- Restart Your App: Restart the app before the event to avoid potential bugs and glitches.
- Stock Up on Supplies: Spin PokéStops for research tasks and stock up on Poké Balls and Berries.
