Preview of March Community Day in Pokemon GO – what Pokemon will appear?

Pokemon Go

The creators revealed which Pokemon will be associated with the next Community Day in Pokemon GO.


Niantic revealed who will be the hero of March Community Day. What’s more interesting – this time Community Day will cover two forms of a given Pokemon genre. All this is thanks to the introduction of a new region – Alola, which is inspired by Hawaii. Interesting creatures can be found on the Allolan islands, both those that only appear there and those well-known from previous generations, but in a slightly different form.

The main character of March Community Day will be Sandshrew, a creature originally introduced in Generation I, which has its Alolan version. Both varieties differ not only in appearance but also in type. Sandshrew from Kanto is a ground type Pokemon, while its Alolan relative – ice and steel types.
