Tinkatink Leads Pokémon Go Community Day, Unlocking Gigaton Hammer for Tinkaton

Pokémon Go's April Community Day centers on Tinkatink, offering boosted shiny odds and a path to a 100% IV Tinkatink. Evolve a Tinkatuff into Tinkaton during the event (2–5pm local time on Saturday, April 11, 2026) to learn Gigaton Hammer, a Community Day-exclusive Steel-type move, usable for four hours after the event. Bonuses include increased spawns, triple Catch Stardust, double Catch Candy, extended Lure and Incense effects, and special trades; you can also chase a shiny Tinkatink and target perfect IVs (CP 737 at Level 30 or 799 at Level 35). For best results, use Fairy Wind as a Fast Move and Play Rough as a Charged Move on Tinkaton, with Heavy Slam or Gigaton Hammer as a second Charged Move; Gigaton Hammer is a Community Day-exclusive and may require an Elite Charged TM to obtain outside the event.

Gigaton Hammer Makes Tinkaton a Steel Raid Star on April 2026 Community Day

During the April 11, 2026 Pokémon GO Community Day, evolve Tinkatink into Tinkaton during the event or within four hours after to learn Gigaton Hammer, a 300-power charged move that dramatically improves its PvE DPS. Despite a modest base Attack (155) and CP cap of 2544, Gigaton Hammer elevates Tinkaton into a notable steel raid attacker and a strong pick for Party Play, though it’s still not the best Fairy attacker compared with others. The article suggests focusing on steel raids and XL candy farming (with potential future moves like Metal Claw) for best long-term value. This is a solid Community Day pick for players chasing shinies, Candies, and a unique hammer-wielding Steel attacker.

March Community Day runs March 14, 2–5 pm local time and spotlight shines on shiny Scorbunny, with shiny Raboot and Cinderace also making their debuts.

For a 15/15/15 Scorbunny, target CP 940 at level 30 or 1019 at level 35; using Incense helps increase shiny spawns. Good luck finding your shiny!

X Version or Y Version: Choosing the Best Path in Pokémon Go's An X-ceptional Yarn

X Version or Y Version: Choosing the Best Path in Pokémon Go's An X-ceptional Yarn

Pokémon Go's An X-ceptional Yarn Special Research splits at the start into two permanent paths—X Version and Y Version—each with its own steps and rewards (Xerneas-focused X Version vs Yveltal-focused Y Version) and the option to earn Unown X or Unown Y. The quest is limited to Go Tour Kalos: Global ticket holders and select in-person attendees, and once you choose a path it cannot be changed. The article lists each path's five steps and rewards, and concludes that X Version is generally the stronger pick for most players due to Xerneas' raid and Master League utility, though Y Version has its own merits depending on your team needs.

Go Tour Kalos X vs Y: Pick Your Path for Unown, Xerneas, and Yveltal

Go Tour Kalos X vs Y: Pick Your Path for Unown, Xerneas, and Yveltal

Ticketed Go Tour Kalos players must choose X or Y during the 'An X-ceptional Yarn' Special Research, locking in Xerneas- or Yveltal-themed rewards, a version medal, a special-background encounter, and Unown X or Unown Y field tasks. The choice cannot be changed later. X favors Xerneas raids and Unown X paths, while Y favors Yveltal and Unown Y tasks (with Yveltal as a versatile Master League option, though less effective in certain raid matchups). If you attended previous Kalos events, you can still participate in the quest. The decision is subjective—consider which Unown form you want and which Legendary or Master League goals you have when deciding between X and Y.
