July 2023 Community Day Classic: Squirtle makeup event detailed

Squirtle will appear more frequently in the wild. If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny one!

Evolve Wartortle (Squirtle’s Evolution) during the event or up to two hours afterward—from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time—to get a Blastoise that knows the Charged Attack Hydro Cannon (Trainer Battles: 80 power, Gyms and raids: 90 power)

Squirtle-themed Field Research will be available! Catch Squirtle to earn an encounter with Squirtle wearing sunglasses.

For US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), you’ll be able to access the Squirtle Community Day Classic–exclusive Special Research story. Trainers who purchased the Squirtle Community Day Classic–exclusive Special Research story earlier this month can purchase this ticket for a second, identical version of the Special Research Story. Stay tuned for when tickets for the Special Research story go live.

Don’t forget: you’re now able to purchase and gift tickets to any of your friends that you’ve achieved a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher with.* To gift a ticket, tap the Special Research ticket in the in-game shop, then tap the Gift button instead of the Buy button.
