Pokemon GO Confirms October 2022 Community Day Pokemon

gamerant.com:

Niantic has announced that the Pokemon GO Community Day Pokemon for October will be Litwick, the Ghost and Fire-type Pokemon. This Community Day will mark the debut of Litwick's shiny form to the game.

Pokemon GO keeps with its Season of Light theme by using a Pokemon with ghastly origins, choosing Litwick, which is shaped like a candle but has darker connotations being a Ghost and Fire-type Pokemon. As with other Community Day Pokemon, Litwick's shiny form will have increased odds. Litwick first came to the game in 2019 but has been hard to find outside of events featuring Ghost-type Pokemon. Even then, the spawn rate of Litwick was not as high as other Pokemon.

Litwick Community Day will be on October 15 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. regional time, and the event will have special catch bonuses. Some things to expect are triple catch XP, double Litwick candy after the catch, increased chance for double the amount of XL Candy received for trainers level 31 or higher, and longer lure and incense duration extended to 3 hours. Friends will be able to trade Pokemon at reduced cost and can perform two special trades during Community Day hours. There will also be extended chances for shiny hunting Litwick after the Community Day hours. Trainers that do in-person 4-star Lampert raids will get increased Litwick spawns for 30 minutes and 300 meters of the raid gym after it ends with the Community Day shiny spawn rate.

Litwick's final form, Chandelure, will learn a unique Community Day move in Poltergeist, the first time the move will become available in Pokemon GO. This move has the potential to be one of the best ghost-type charged moves, reliant on the combination of quick moves and Pokemon IVs. If
