Pokemon GO Community Day April 2022’s Featured Pokemon Will Be Stufful

Niantic and The Pokemon Company have unveiled details for April 2022’s Pokemon GO Community Day.

The next Pokemon GO Community Day will run on 23 April 2022 (2pm to 5pm, local time). This time, the featured Pokemon is Stufful, the Flailing Pokemon from the Alola region. If players evolve Stufful into Bewear during the event or up to two hours afterwards, it will learn the Charged Attack Drain Punch.

Bonus buffs during the event will include 3-hour incense, 3-hour lure modules, 2 times Catch XP, and 3 times Catch XP. Additionally, a Special Research story titled “Strong Stuff” will also be available for $1 USD.

Here are more details from Niantic below:

April Community Day

Saturday, April 23, 2022, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time

Community Day Adjustments

We also wanted to take a moment to discuss some changes to the Community Day format we’ll be testing. In 2020, we doubled the length of our Community Day events, extending them from three hours to six. Since then, however, we’ve found that only five percent of our Trainers tend to participate in the event for more than three hours.

One of the biggest pieces of positive feedback that we received after January’s three-hour Community Day Classic was that players and community leaders noticed how much more of the community was out and about during the event. So, for Stufful Community Day, we’re returning to three-hour format. Our hope is that doing so will create even more opportunities for Trainers to play together and connect outside as they’re exploring.

We know that Trainers have enjoyed all of the extra resources that can be collected during longer events, so we’re adding some new and exciting perks to Stufful Community Day to give you the ability to collect just as many resources during gameplay. Check them out below!

Stufful will appear more frequently in the wild.

  • If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny one!
