Lechonk community day is here in Pokemon GO and here’s the news #pokemon #pokemongo #pogo
LECHONK COMMUNITY DAY IS HERE in Pokémon GO! 🐷✨ In this video I break down ALL the important details for the May 2026 Pokémon GO Community Day event featuring Lechonk, including the shiny debut rates, event bonuses, exclusive moves, timed bonuses, special research, field research tasks, Stardust bonuses, Candy XL bonuses, and the latest Pokémon GO news trainers need to know before the event starts.
Lechonk Community Day takes place on Saturday, May 9th, 2026 from 2PM to 5PM local time, and this event is actually stacked with bonuses that make it one of the best farming events of the season. Shiny Lechonk will be spawning everywhere in the wild with massively boosted shiny odds, giving trainers the perfect opportunity to hunt for both male and female shiny Oinkologne evolutions.
During the event, trainers will receive:
🔥 1/4 Egg Hatch Distance
🔥 2x Catch Candy
🔥 Increased XL Candy chance from catches
🔥 3-hour Incense
🔥 3-hour Lure Modules
🔥 One additional Special Trade
🔥 50% less Stardust for trades
🔥 Massive Lechonk wild spawns
🔥 Increased shiny odds
🔥 Special Background encounters
🔥 Event-exclusive Mud Slap Oinkologne evolution
If you evolve Lechonk into Oinkologne before 9PM local time, your Oinkologne will learn the exclusive Fast Attack Mud Slap, making this Community Day evolution extremely important for collectors, PvP players, and future Pokémon GO battle metas.
There are also Community Day snapshot photobombs available during the event, so make sure you take AR snapshots for bonus Lechonk encounters.
The latest Pokémon GO news also includes the continuation of current Tier 5 Raids, new event rotations, fresh research tasks, and ongoing shiny hunting opportunities across the game. Trainers are also preparing for future seasonal content, new raid bosses, upcoming Community Day Classics, and potential Ultra Beast returns later in May.
Special Research Tickets for Lechonk Community Day are also available for purchase and include:
⭐ Premium Battle Pass
⭐ Rare Candy XL
⭐ Rocket Radar
⭐ Bonus Lechonk encounters
⭐ Special Background Pokémon
⭐ Extra Stardust and XP rewards
Field Research tasks during the event can reward:
✔️ Stardust
✔️ Ultra Balls
✔️ Extra Lechonk encounters
✔️ Special Background Lechonk
✔️ Additional shiny chances
This is also one of the BEST events for grinding XP, Stardust, Candy XL, and shiny Pokémon in Pokémon GO right now, especially if you use Incense, Lure Modules, Quick Catch techniques, and stacked Mega Evolutions during the event hours.
