Bagon is back!
The next Pokémon GO Community Day Classic will feature Bagon. This will provide Pokémon GO Trainers a second chance to grab a Shiny Bagon and get a Salamence with its featured move. The last Bagon Community Day was all the way back in 2019.
Bagon Community Day takes place Sunday, April 7 from 1400-1700 local time.
This is a really exciting Community Day Classic. Bagon is a nice shiny, Salamence has a Mega Evolution plus we have some fantastic bonuses. This is a great chance to meet up with your friends and play some Pokémon GO.

Featured Pokémon: Bagon
During the event times, Bagon will be appearing much more frequently in the wild. You'll also have a increased chance of catching a Shiny Bagon.
There will also be a featured move for evolving Bagon. Any Shelgon evolved into Salamence during Bagon's Pokémon GO Community Day will learn Outrage, a Dragon-type move. If you have any Salamence already, the only way they can learn this move is through an Elite TM.

Bagon Community Day Classic: Pokémon GO Tips and Tricks
Mega Salamence is a really good Mega Pokémon. Having a good IV Bagon, and lots of Bagon Candy and Candy XL is a worthwhile investment in Pokémon GO.
If you're grinding towards Level 50 the extra XP can be really useful. Use a Lucky Egg and you can get 6000 XP+ from a single Excellent Throw on a Bagon.
Of course, there are no Candy bonuses for this event. That means that Mega Evolving a Pokémon will be crucial to get extra candy. A mega level 3 Pokémon adds an additional 25% chance to get Candy XL.
Here are the Dragon-type or Flying-type Pokémon you can Mega Evolve during Bagon Community Day Classic to get more Candy:
- Pidgeot
- Pinsir
- Aerodactyl
- Ampharos
- Sceptile
- Altaria
- Salamence
- Latias
- Latios
- Rayquaza
- Garchomp
Don't forget some other easy tips:
- Don't catch Pokémon before the event starts. These Pokémon can turn into Bagon.
- Spin as many Pokéstops as possible, to get event specific Field Research as well as extra resources.
- Don't activate Lure's or Incense till the event starts to get the extra time.
- Have fun!
