Machop Returns for Pokémon Go's May 2025 Community Day Classic

As the Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go draws to a thrilling close, the Community Day Classic event is set to spotlight the beloved powerhouse, Machop. Mark your calendars for May 24th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when the Superpower Pokémon will dominate the wild, offering trainers another golden opportunity to enhance their Fighting-type lineup with this classic favorite.

If you're on the hunt for a robust Machamp or chasing the elusive green Shiny glow, this event is your prime chance. Machop will appear more frequently during the event, increasing your odds of encountering a Shiny variant in Pokémon Go.

Take advantage of the event by evolving a Machoke into a Machamp at any point during the event or up until May 31st at 10:00 pm local time. This evolution will grant you a Machamp that knows the Charged Attack Payback, a potent Dark-type move with 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power in raids and Gyms.

Dive deeper into the event with the exclusive Community Day Special Research story, available for $1.99. This special research includes a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, additional Machop encounters, and three Machop with a Seasonal Special Background.

The event also features Timed Research, providing extra incentives to log in. Complete tasks post-event to earn a Machop encounter adorned with a Might and Mastery-themed Special Background, along with boosted Shiny odds. Remember, these tasks expire on May 31st. Don't miss out on these *Pokémon Go codes* for a plethora of free rewards!

Additional event bonuses include 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Engage in Field Research and PokéStop Showcases for more opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with unique backgrounds.

To cap it all off, the Pokémon Go Web Store will launch an Ultra Community Day Box for $1.99 starting May 14th. This box contains two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket, adding even more value to your Community Day experience.
