Pokemon GO's Abra Community Day event is back this year, bringing with it the chance to catch the elusive Psychic-type. There are also the usual bonus items like Stardust, but this year's Abra Day also features a brand new Special Research task.
Abra Community Day in Pokemon GO starts on April 25 and lasts from 11 a.m. to 17 p.m. in your local time zone. During the event, you will have a higher chance of encountering Abra in the wild, and more importantly, an even higher chance of finding Shiny Abra. If you evolve your Abra into an Alakzam during the event or up to two hours after it ends, the Alakazam will learn Counter – a move it never learns otherwise.
There are also a number of ways to get additional helpful Community Day items. A new set is available in the Item Shop as a one-time purchase. For 1280 PokeCoins you'll get an Elite Charged TM, three Incense, 30 Ultra Balls, and three Super Incubators (useful if you're hatching eggs for the Volbeat Buddy event as well).
Your Pokémon Buddy will bring you even more items if they are Great Buddy level or higher. Any incense you use during the event lasts for three hours, and you will earn three times the normal amount of Catch Stardust for the duration of the event.
Finally, Abra Community Day features the Investigating Illusions Research special event. However, there is a small problem, as you will have to spend $1 to unlock it. If you complete it, you'll get 13000 Stardust, a Poffin, a Rocket Radar, and other rewards that will remain silent until the event is live.
Best of all, you can still participate in the Pokemon GO Abra Community Day event without venturing too far from your home, thanks to changes Niantic has implemented so people can play without putting themselves and others at risk. .
