One of the most popular events in Pokémon GO is the monthly Community Day. Now the developers have revealed the next monster in this format. We at MeinMMO show you which one it will be and what bonuses you can look forward to.
What event is it about? In Pokémon GO, a so-called Community Day is held every month, in which a specified monster can be found more often in the wild for several hours. This also increases the Shiny rate and other bonuses are active.
After a first announcement about the upcoming C-Day was accidentally made by the X-Account of Pokémon GO India yesterday, September 25, and was quickly deleted again, it is now official: The Community Day in October will bring you Praktibalk. We have summarized the content that will also be available for you below.
When is the C-Day in October? The October Community Day will be held on October 15, 2023, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
Update from September 26 at 09:10: In the meantime, the contents for the Community Day in October are officially known, which is why we have revised the article for you accordingly.
All bonuses for Community Day with Praktibalk
During the Community Day with Praktibalk, you can not only enjoy lots of spawns of the little battle Pokémon, but also one or two bonuses.
All bonuses active between 14:00 and 17:00:
- 3 times stardust when catching
- double candy when catching
- double chance of XL candies when catching (from level 31)
- Smoke and lure modules last 3 hours (except adventure smoke)
- Surprises from snapshots
- Event field research with Praktibalk
- Event stickers at PokéStops or from gifts
All bonuses you can use until 22:00:
- another special exchange (up to 2 on that day)
- half stardust cost when swapping
Exclusive Attack: As with every Community Day, there will again be an exclusive attack in October. If you develop Strepoli, the first evolution of Praktibalk, to Meistagrif, then this learns the Unlicht-Lade attack Wirbler. It does the following damage:
- Trainer fights: 65
- Raids and arena battles: 65
Costly content: In addition to the free bonuses of the event, you can again secure additional content in the in-game store. There will be the following there:
- Ticket for the special research
Muscle Memories
with Praktibalk for about 1 Euro - Community Day Event Sticker
Special Level 4 Raids
What are these raids: Following C-Day, there will also be special Level 4 raids again, where you can meet Strepoli. These raids, unlike most of the others, can only be played on site. This way, you can not only secure the raid boss, but also earn a spawn bonus.
What bonus is this? Once you have defeated Strepoli, you will receive additional Praktibalk spawns for 30 minutes around the arena. The Shiny quota is just as high for these as it is for the actual Community Day.
When do the raids run? The raids will take place on October 15 in the period from 17:00 to 22:00.
Is Praktibalk worth it?
Is Praktibalk strong? Yes, a Community Day with Praktibalk should make many trainers happy, because it has a strong evolution with Meistagrif. With a moveset of counterattack and balancing strike, Meistagrif is one of the best battle attackers in Pokémon GO.
Is there Shiny Praktibalk? Yes, with a little luck you can meet a shiny Praktibalk on this day. According to experience, the chance is particularly high. In the following picture you can see how the Shinys look like.

How do you like the content from Community Day in October? What bonus are you most excited about? Feel free to let us know here on MyMMO in the comments and share your thoughts with other trainers.
There are a lot of things coming up in Pokémon GO in the next few weeks. We show you all the events in October and which ones are worthwhile.
