Event bonuses include 1/4 Hatch Distance for Eggs, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and special surprises for those who take snapshots during the event.

Highlights
- Beldum will be featured for the August Community Day Classic.
- Event bonuses include 1/4 Hatch Distance, longer lasting lures and incense, and special surprises for snapshot takers.
- Shiny Beldum encounters are possible, along with increased encounter rates and special research opportunities for players.
Pokemon GO has revealed that Beldum will be featured for its August Community Day Classic event. These monthly Pokemon GO events are focused on taking a past Community Day event/Pokemon and giving longtime players a chance to enjoy it again with some tweaks. Newcomers to the game will be able to appreciate the event as a fresh experience. With so many Pokemon in Pokemon GO”s Pokedex, Community Day offers a way to highlight each one for what makes them unique.
Beldum was last given a spotlight in Pokemon GO during an Incense event that allowed trainers a chance to grab its Community Day move. A Beldum equipped with Meteor Mash has the potential to evolve into an especially powerful version of the longtime fan favorite Pokemon Metagross, which is originally from Generation 3 of the franchise. Players who prioritize this Pokemon in their team composition may have an easier time taking on certain gyms.

It”s not unusual for Pokemon GO players to hoard items, but one trainer has revealed that they have a really old egg in their inventory.
The Community Day Classic Pokemon for August is Beldum. This event will begin on Sunday, August 18, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm in each player”s local time. With this event, Beldum will appear more frequently in the wild. The previous Community Day event for Beldum was in 2018, and this version appears to have some added leniency, allowing players two hours after to evolve Metang and get the Charged Meteor Mash attack. Event bonuses include 1/4 Hatch Distance for Eggs that are placed in incubators, Lure Modules and Incense lasting three hours, and a teased surprise for anyone who takes snapshots during the event.

Compared to the July Community Day event that featured Tynamo, there”s a bit less going on during the Beldum event, particularly with raid battles. However, the tradeoff appears to be how powerful the Pokemon is. The Tynamo event that gave players an Elektross with Volt Switch had the move at 12 power for trainer battles, and 14 for Gyms and raids. Comparatively, a Metagross that knows Meteor Mash will have the move at 100 power for all battles, which will be worth it to players looking for a strong new Pokemon.
