🔍What Is Community Day?
Community Day is a recurring event in Pokémon GO. It features a single Pokémon that appears more frequently for a short period of time. During this event, you’ll also enjoy bonuses like extra Stardust, better Shiny chances, and special moves to evolve the featured Pokémon.
🟢What’s Special About Machop Community Day?
During the three-hour window, Machop will appear more frequently in the wild. This means you’ll have a better chance of catching a lot of them, and even getting a shiny Machop if you’re lucky!
The shiny version is green, so look for it. The shiny rate during Community Days is usually around 1 in 24, so if you play the whole time, you’ll probably catch at least a few shiny Machops.
🌟Tips For Catching Shiny Machop
If you want to catch as many Shiny Machops as possible, follow these tips:
- Use incense to attract more Pokémon to your location.
- Quickly tap each Machop to check if it’s Shiny. If it’s not, move on to the next one.
- The Shiny Machop will glow and appear in a different color.
- The Pokémon you’ve already tapped will face your character, so don’t waste time checking again.
Try using the Quick Catch trick to save time and catch more Pokémon. The more you catch, the higher your chances of getting a Shiny!
