POKEMON GO BAGON COMMUNITY START AND END TIME
The Pokémon Go Community Day event spotlighting Bagon will begin Saturday, April 13 from 3-6 p.m. local time.
SHINY BAGON
Past Pokémon Go Community Day events have unlocked the Shiny variant of the spotlighted Pokémon and April's is no different. Trainers will have a chance to catch a Shiny Bagon when they encounter it in the wild.
Shiny Pokémon don't display their unique colorings in the wild, so trainers need to encounter a normal Bagon to see if they have a chance at catching the rare variant. Shiny Bagon changes from blue to a light green, so it's hard to miss.
OUTRAGE
The exclusive move for April's Community Day event is Outrage. Pokémon Go trainers who evolve their Bagon into Shelgon, and finally into Salamence, from 3-7 p.m. local time will have their Salamence learn the powerful Dragon-type attack.
Outrage has a base power of 110 and can be charged up twice. It's also tied with Hurricane for the second-strongest attack of all the event-exclusive moves, just behind Draco Meteor.
Bagon caught before the Community Day event will learn Outrage upon evolving into Salamence, as long as it's done in the four-hour window.
IN-GAME BONUSES
During the Community Day event, Pokémon Go players can benefit from three times the amount of experience for catching Pokémon. Lures will also last three hours, up from the usual one.
