Pokémon Go Community Day May 2019 is scheduled to take place May 19. The event will run from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in your local time zone, creating a staggered start time around the world.

Within that time range players will be able to catch Torchic as the featured Pokémon. They’ll also receive a triple Catch Stardust bonus and three-hour lures. Finally, Torchics caught during the event that successfully evolve into Blazikens up to an hour after the event ends will be able to learn an exclusive move that developer Niantic has yet to reveal.
