Popplio Community Day Announced For August In Pokémon GO

First, Chespin got its Community Day. Then, Fennekin. Now, Popplio completes the trilogy of Alolan Starter Community Days in Pokémon GO.

It took a while for all of the Alolan Starters to get their Community Day events in Pokémon GO, but Niantic is finally finishing off the trilogy. Popplio starts in August 2024 Community Day with the expected perks. Let's take a look.

Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Brionne, additional Popplio will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes."
