Niantic has announced a makeup event for Pokemon Go’s Squirtle Community Day Classic after login issues plagued the July event.

On July 9, the mobile application held the initial event from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. However, login issues ruined the Community Day for multiple trainers, preventing them from accessing the event.

Per one user’s screenshot, the Pokemon Go error stated Pokemon Trainer Club was “currently unavailable.” Therefore, fellow players suggested connecting their Pokemon Go accounts to other means such as Google, Facebook, or Apple.

To make up for the technical problem, Niantic has rescheduled the event for a later date.

According to the official blog post, Pokemon Go will hold the Squirtle makeup event on Sunday, July 23, 2023, from 2 PM. to 5 PM local time.

“Due to the log-in issues experienced by those using Pokemon Trainer Club accounts during Community Day Classic: Squirtle on July 9, we’re holding a special global makeup event for all Trainers on Sunday, July 23, 2023,” the blog post reads.

“Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate your continued passion for Pokemon Go.”

During the compensation period, trainers will have the same event bonuses, Special Research, Field Research, and the exclusive move Hydro Cannon.

Trainers who previously purchased the ticket will gain access to the same Special Research story in the original Community Day.
