Pokemon GO has become well known for its wide variety of events over the years. On August 31, Pokemon GO will have a Community Day with Poppilo as the featured Pokemon to catch. A community day has lined up every month in Pokemon GO since January 2018, some with returning featured Pokemon and others unique. Community Days allow players to catch an increased amount of the same Pokemon and its multiple forms over the course of a few hours, with a prime opportunity to catch a shiny. The day also gives players the option to purchase Community Day Special Research tasks, which are small goals with a reward in line with the event. Raids have also been known to spawn in Gyms with the Pokemon featured during that day.
