Machop Returns for Pokémon Go's May 2025 Community Day Classic

As the Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go reaches its thrilling finale, the Community Day Classic is set to spotlight the powerful Machop. Mark your calendars for May 24th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when this Superpower Pokémon will dominate the wild, offering you a golden opportunity to enhance your Fighting-type collection with a beloved classic.

Whether you're aiming to strengthen your Machamp lineup or are on the hunt for that elusive Shiny Machop, this event is your chance to shine. During these hours, Machop will appear more frequently, increasing your odds of encountering a Shiny variant in Pokémon Go.

Evolving a Machoke into Machamp during the event window or up until May 31st at 10:00 pm local time will grant you a Machamp equipped with the Charged Attack Payback. This Dark-type move packs a punch with 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power in raids and Gyms.

Dive deeper into the event with the exclusive Community Day Special Research story, available for $1.99. This premium experience includes a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, additional Machop encounters, and three Machop adorned with a Seasonal Special Background.

Don't miss out on the Timed Research, which offers an extra incentive to participate. Completing tasks post-event will reward you with a Machop featuring a Might and Mastery-themed Special Background and enhanced Shiny odds. Remember, these tasks must be completed by May 31st. And don't forget to use those *Pokémon Go codes* to score some fantastic freebies!

Event bonuses sweeten the deal with 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Engage in Field Research and PokéStop Showcases for more opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with special backgrounds.
