Pokémon GO’s first Community Day Classic event for the month of April is all about Mudkip, the iconic water-type Pokémon loved by fans all around the world. The upcoming event, titled "Memories of Mudkip", will not only give all players a chance to obtain the Pokémon itself but also a special move for Mudkip's evolved form.
Community Day Classics are in-game Pokémon GO events that take place once a month and center around one Pokémon. Usually, the featured Pokémon are among the more difficult ones to find. Along with the increased catch rates of the featured Pokémon, players are also granted a number of game-enhancing buffs to make their Pokémon-hunting easier. Players can usually expect increased XP and Stardust rewards as well as higher lure effectiveness that lasts throughout the entirety of the event.

In addition, players can unlock an exclusive attack is called Hydro Cannon, which boasts a power level of 80 when used in Trainer Battles, and 90 for Gyms and raids. Hydro Cannon can only be unlocked by players who evolve Mudkip to Swampert twice during the event.
