We Finally Get Shiny Fennekin Community Day Today In Pokémon GO

We're finally getthing Shiny Fennekin today in Pokémon GO May 2023 Community Day, which unlocks two special moves for Delphox.

Pokémon GO has been in a hectic state recently with the player's reaction to Niantic's changes. Remote Raids have been nerfed, which has made many players, including prominent influencers, publicly question if the game is still worth playing. Even with all of this, it's hard to not get excited by getting another Starter Community Day. At long last, Fennekin Community Day is here in Pokémon GO, introducing Shiny Fennekin to the game. Let's get into the details.

Here are the full details for today's Pokémon GO Community Day event for May 2023 which will feature Fennekin:

• Date and time: Today, Sunday, May 21, 2023, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
  
• Featured Pokémon:
  • Fennekin, the Fire-type Starter of the Kalos region
  • Evolving Fennekin or Braixen all the way up to Delphox will unlock the special Fire-type move of Blast Burn. This is the signature Pokémon GO Community Day move of all Fire-type Starters.
    • Trainer Battles: 110 power

    • "Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Braixen, Fennekin will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. If you're lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one! Fennekin that appear under these circumstances will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during May Community Day's three-hour event period."
