Pokemon Go Community Day Classic Returns April 10 With Mudkip In The Spotlight

gamespot.com:

Hey Pokemon Trainers: Niantic heard you like Mudkips. It does too, so much so that it's chosen the Water-type starter from Hoenn for the next Pokemon Go Community Day Classic in a few short weeks.

The Community Day Classic is confirmed for April 10 from 2 PM to 5 PM local time, with Mudkip as the featured Pokemon. Mudkip will appear more frequently in the wild, Shiny versions will become more frequent, and anyone who evolves Mudkip to its final form Swampert during the event will gain the special charged attack Hydro Cannon.

The Mudkip Community Day Classic is only the second-ever «classic» version of the in-game event, the first featuring Bulbasaur back in January. GameSpot asked Niantic live game director Michael Steranka about the Community Day Classic when it was first announced, and he described it as a way for new players to find older Pokemon, saying, «We see millions of people come into the game every year and they've missed out. We want to make sure everyone is able to get access to these Pokemon.»

The full list of bonuses and features for the Community Day Classic is below:

This new Community Day Classic will come during a busy April for Pokemon Go, with multiple events and raids being added throughout the month. The next Community Day--that one featuring Stufful making its Pokemon Go debut--will kick off two weeks later on April 23, also from 2 PM to 5 PM local time.
