Pokémon Go Beldum Community Day Classic guide

Pokemon Go has Beldum Community Day Event Sunday, August 18, 2:00 PM to 5:00 PMaccording to your local time.

As expected from the Community Day event, Beldum will appear in huge quantities with a high chance of being shiny. There are also several other bonuses and benefits that we have listed below.

According to an old study by the now defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the chance of Shiny Pokémon appearing during Community Days is about 1 in 24, meaning that if you keep playing during the three-hour window, you're sure to find quite a few Shiny Pokémon.

If you're short on time or Pokeballs, you can pop the Incense, then quickly tap each Beldum to check for shiny ones, running away from the ones that aren't shiny. Notably, any Beldum you've already tapped will be looking toward where your player is standing, so that should help determine which ones you've already checked.

If you are developing Metang V Metagross From 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM your local time he will learn a charged move Meteorite puree.

If you didn't manage to evolve it during this period, you'll likely be able to evolve it during the Community Day weekend in December to get Meteorite pureeIf you don't want to wait, you can use Elite TM to get a move on.

Metagross is one of the best Steel-type Pokémon in the game, second only to Twilight Mane Necrozma (An event-only Legendary/Ultra Beast, so take that as you will.) Even better is a Shadow Metagross, so if you have the opportunity to steal a Shadow Beldum from a Team Go Rocket member and have the resources to level it up, you should definitely do so.

Metagross's best moveset is Hit by a bullet And Meteorite puree and with this, he will deal with most opponents quite quickly – especially Fairy, Ice, and Rock-type Pokémon.

Mega Metagross was not added to Pokemon Go for now, but you should use this as an opportunity to get a good Beldum with the intention of eventually using it to get Mega Metagross. While we can't confirm any details yet since it's not in the game, it will likely be very much powerful and worth it.

The following bonuses will be active during Beldum Community Day:

However, you should definitely place some eggs in incubators and light the incense to try to get a powerful Beldum.

If you can Mega Evolution Alakazam, Slowbro, Steelix, Scizor, Gardevoir, Latias, Latios or Lucario, you will receive extra Beldum Candy for each fish you catch.
