Community Event Rundown

- The rewards from the Field Research Tasks will be a possible four-star Gible, (10-10-10 Perfect IV) Complete tasks and spin pokestops for increased odds.
- Dragon-Type Pokémon will give an extra candy for Wild Dragon-type Pokémon. If trainers need to evolve megas, take advantage of this opportunity. (Charizard X, Ampharos, Altaria), Trainers will end Community Day with lots of Gible Candy, which is great! – It gives 1 extra Candy for wild catches of the same type. Exploit this advantage to maximize rewards.
