As summer is in full swing and team VG247 deeply regrets being stuck inside tethered to computers all day, the team at Niantic behind Pokemon Go are wasting no time making the most of it – chiefly with a string of special summer events – the latest of which will be an Eevee themed community day.
The Eevee Community day follows on from a lot of other community-driven Pokemon Go events. We’ve had Squirtle in sunglasses, Pokemon Safari Zone in Dortmund, Pokemon Go Fest in Chicago, and we’ve even got an upcoming Zapdos Day Event where you’ll be able to more easily track down regular and Shiny Zapdos in raids. Once Zapdos is done, it’ll be time for Eevee.
Eevee is of course one of the most popular Pokemon thanks to its wide range of Eevee Evolutions in Pokemon Go and the rest of the Pokemon series. In Go Eevee can currently evolve into five different forms: Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon from gen 1 and Epseon and Umbreon from gen 2.
The prospect of shiny versions of all these different evolutions has fans excited for obvious reasons – but to achieve that you’ll need a bunch of shiny Eevee and a whole lot of candy – but this event provides you with the opportunity to make that happen. Here’s all the information we have on the upcoming Eevee event so far…
Pokemon Go Eevee Community Day: start time and date, plus how to take part
This event is a worldwide affair, and it’ll run for all Pokemon Go players on August 11 and August 12. That’s thankfully a Saturday and Sunday, so clear your schedules – you’ve got three hours on each day in which Eevee will spawn more commonly out in the wild – and this in itself carries with it a lot of rewards, which we’ll get into in just a moment. If the Eevee Community Day event is anything like the one for Squirtle, a diligent player will be able to catch a lot of Eevee in a very short time, thus grinding out a lot of Eevee Candy and different catches in hopes of getting one with a good set of stats.
Here’s the Eevee Community Day event stat time and end time – essentially, the time each major region will see their Eevee Spawn rates increased. The effects of the event will only take place in these hours, so be careful to make sure you get somewhere that’s decent for walking around and passing some Pokestops for these hours:
- Eevee Community Day Hours in Europe & Africa: 10am – 1pm British Summertime
- Eevee Community Day Hours in North America: 11am – 2pm Pacific Time / 2pm – 5pm Eastern Time
- Eevee Community Day Hours in Asia/Pacific: 12pm – 3pm Japan Standard Time
As a reminder, there’s also some buffs in these hours. Lures will last for 3 hours at a time (so dropping one will last the duration of the event) and trainers will get triple stardust for catching Pokemon. There might be more bonuses beyond this, too, but Niantic hasn’t chosen to announce them yet.
Pokemon Go Eevee Community Day Rewards: Shiny Eevee, Exclusive Move and more
Obviously, the main reward for taking part in Pokemon Go’s Eevee Community day this August will be the chance to catch yourself a whole lot of Eevee. This has a few benefits: it gets you the Pokemon, the candy, and potentially a Pokemon that can evolve into one of the strong Eevee Evolutions, a few of whom are some of the best Pokemon in Pokemon Go ranging right the way across every Pokemon type in the game.
There are other bonuses, however: specifically, there’s a much higher chance that Eevee that spawn during the duration of the Eevee Community Event will be shiny Eevee with their unique coloring – and this coloring will carry over to the evolved forms of the Pokemon if you so wish. Given the broad nature of the potential evolution options, this is an event with a lot more potential outcomes than your average, which is cool.
There’s also the stardust bonus – vital for powering up the Pokemon you end up catching and evolving. It definitely makes these three hours well worth playing during.
