Squirtle Community Day is TODAY, Trainers!

by Dylan Blight

Get ready for another Community Day, Pokémon GO trainers. July’s featured Pokémon is none other than Squirtle, and today you’ll see increased Squirtle spawns, a boosted shiny rate, and an exclusive move — Hydro Cannon — for any Squirtle evolved into Blastoise during the event.

You’ll also have a chance for a sunglasses-wearing Squirtle to appear — an obvious nod to the Squirtle Squad from the television series — by completing Field Research during the event. So yes, you can build your own Squirtle Squad to protect your town or neighbourhood bike path.

Eggs will hatch at ¼ the normal distance (only for eggs placed in incubators during the event’s runtime), and lures will last for a bonus length of 3 hours (the length of the event).

Event time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM AEST

Pokémon GO is currently holding an anniversary event where you can catch Pikachu wearing sunglasses until the end of July.
