The second-ever Community Day Classic is coming to Pokemon Go soon and it features Mudkip. The Gen III starter can be Shiny and its final evolution, Swampert, can also learn an exclusive move. Here’s everything you need to know.

Niantic has already confirmed the standard Community Day for April 2022. Starring Stufful, it runs on April 23 and features several bonuses such as 3x Catch XP and 2x Catch Candy.

In an unexpected twist, the developer revealed that there will be a second one in the month. The Community Day Classic focuses on Mudkip and includes Special Research and more.

Pokemon Go Community Day Classic Mudkip start time & end time

The event takes place on Sunday, April 10, 2022, and runs from 2 PM to 5 PM local time, giving you just three hours to participate.

In 2020, Community Day length was doubled to six hours but in 2022, Niantic revealed their decision to revert it, claiming that “only five percent of our Trainers tend to participate in the event for more than three hours.”

Because of this, it is highly important that you prepare in advance by ensuring you have enough Poke Balls and items so you don’t find yourself caught short on the day.

Can Mudkip be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

The short answer is yes, Mudkip can be Shiny. There’s a chance you may encounter its adorable fuschia form during the event.

Shiny spawn rates are usually increased during Community Days so you could even find yourself walking away with multiple by the end of it. Good luck, Trainers!
