Event guide

Prioritize Catching Nickit

Nickit is the star of this Community Day, and with shiny variants available, you’ll want to maximize your catch rate during the event. The increased spawns mean you’ll encounter this Dark-type Pokémon frequently, so don’t waste time on other Pokémon. Focus your efforts on catching as many Nickit as possible between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time, and continue until 9:00 p.m. to take advantage of the bonuses.

Leverage the Bonuses

This event offers a wealth of bonuses, but some stand out more than others. You’ll get 3x Catch Stardust and 2x Catch Candy, which are fantastic for powering up your Pokémon. The chance to receive Candy XL from catches is also significant, especially if you're looking to max out your stronger Nickit evolutions in the future. With 3-hour Incense and 1-hour Lures (excluding Golden Lures), you can attract more Nickit, so use them wisely during the event window.

Assessing Time Investment

With the bonuses extending until 9:00 p.m., this Community Day is definitely worth your time. The increased spawn rate, coupled with the shiny odds, means you could walk away with several shiny Nickit and a solid stash of Stardust and Candy. If you’re a competitive trainer, this is a prime opportunity to build a strong lineup that can serve you well in battles. Make sure to plan your time effectively to capture as many as you can!
