Pokemon GO has just released a new teaser for the next Community Day, and fans believe that its featured Pokemon will be a Toucannon or a Bounsweet. The upcoming Pokemon GO Community Day will happen on May 19, and this teaser was the first time Niantic hinted its possible content.
The Community Day is a monthly Pokemon GO event that often features rare or uncommon creatures, greatly increasing the players’ chance of capturing them. Normally, the featured Pokemon can also learn exclusive Attacks when evolving during the event, and players can gain special rewards by participating. Last month, Bellsprout was featured on Pokemon GO’s Community Day.
Pokemon GO Finally Adds Major Language After 8 Years
Pokemon GO developer Niantic announces the long-awaited inclusion of a major language, as well as a celebratory in-game event for it.
Now, Niantic unveiled a short teaser of May 19’s Community Day, hinting at the appearance of two possible creatures. The seven-second clip starts with the shadow of a Flying-type Pokemon flying over grass, and then a Bounsweet jumps out of the bushes. This led to speculation in the community, as the shadow likely belongs to a Toucannon, and fans wondered which one of these two creatures would be featured in the event. As Bounsweet was the only one to directly appear in the video, it’s more likely that it will be the featured Pokemon. However, there’s no official confirmation from Niantic yet, so fans should not discard Toucannon or the possibility of having two featured Pokemon.
What Pokemon Will Be Featured on May 19's Pokemon Go Community Day?
- Pokemon GO players believe that either Toucannon or Bounsweet will be featured in the upcoming Community Day.
The Community Day will not be the only Pokemon GO event happening in May, though. Earlier today, Niantic revealed that Pokemon GO is adding a third Master Ball on May 14. Gamers only had two chances of acquiring this rare item, and now, it was revealed that they will gain a new chance during the Catching Wonders event which will last from May 14 to 19.
While May will be an exciting time for Pokemon GO, April was a controversial month for its fans. Last month, Niantic released a Pokemon GO update called “Rediscover Yourself,” which changed the players’ avatars. The update was very poorly received by the player base, which deemed the new avatars to be worse than the previous ones. During the controversy, some Pokemon GO players even accused Niantic of false advertising by still using images of the old models in ads. In any case, it’s unlikely that Niantic will go back on this change, so at least the community will get another shot at gaining a new Master Ball and enhanced chances to capture either a Bounsweet or a Toucannon soon.

After a test run via an April Fools' joke on Google Maps, Pokemon GO was released to the public in the summer of 2016. The AR mobile app saw unparalleled success and continues to be one of the largest mobile games in the world, pulling in billions for developer Niantic.
