Goomy Community Day Confirmed For Pokémon GO

The rare Goomy will be the focus of June Community Day in Pokémon GO, giving the pseudo-Legendary Goodra a special attack for the event.



Article Summary

  • Goomy stars in Pokémon GO's June 2024 Community Day on June 9, 2-5 pm.
  • Special move Thunder Punch unlocked by evolving Sliggoo to Goodra during event.
  • Event features bonus rewards, extra Stardust, and half off trades, plus more.
  • Post-event Tier Four Raids lead to increased Goomy spawns for 30 minutes.

As predicted, Goomy will be the focus of the June 2024 Community Day in Pokémon GO. This continues the pattern of draconic pseudo-Legendaries getting their Shiny released at Pokémon GO Fest and then becoming widely available during the next year's June Community Day. With Jangmo-o getting its Shiny release at GO Fest 2024, we will likely see Jangmo-o Community Day next June. For now, though, let's focus on the excitement at hand: Goomy.

  •  Bonus Tier Four Raids featuring Sliggoo: Niantic writes:
    • "After the three-hour Community Day event ends, Trainers will be able to take on special four-star Raid Battles. Claiming victory in one of these raids will cause more Goomy to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes! You can only join these raids using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these Raid Battles. Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Sliggoo, additional Goomy will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. Goomy that appear under these circumstances will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during June Community Day's three-hour event period."
