Exclusive Timburr Community Day move for Conkeldurr in Pokemon GO

If you evolve your Timburr into a Gurdurr and then into a Conkeldurr, the final-stage evolution will get a unique Community Day move called Brutal Swing.

These evolutions can be done up to five hours after the completion of the Community Day. So, make sure you evolve a good PvP IV Timburr into a Conkeldurr. It's also ideal to evolve a perfect IV Timburr if you catch it.

Optimizing your inventory for Timburr Community Day in Pokemon GO

The most important thing you will need for this Community Day event is a bunch of Poke Balls. The more you can stack, the less you will have to make trips to PokeStops to replenish your supply of balls.

Stocking up on Great and Ultra Balls to make your Pokemon-catching process more efficient is always advisable.

The ideal number of balls you need for the event would be about 700. If you have a small bag, you'll have to work your way around a bit; delete potions and berries to make space for your balls.

You won’t have to worry about Pinap Berries as you will already be getting 2x Catch Candy during the event. What you really need to focus on is the Stardust and getting good IV Shiny Timburr.

How many Star Pieces should you use during the Timburr Community Day event in Pokemon GO?

You'll need a total of six Star Pieces for the entire duration of the event. Each Star Piece will give you an additional 50% Stardust for every creature you catch or hatch from eggs. So, besides catching wild spawns, consider hatching some 12 km eggs during the event.

Should you transfer or trade the Timburr you catch during the Timburr Community Day event in Pokemon GO?

Trading the Timburr you catch during the event to maximize the Candies and Candy XLs would be ideal. Even if it might take a lot of time, trading rare Pocket Monsters instead of transferring them to the professor is always better.

You'd want your trade distance to be higher than 100 kilometers to get more Candies and Candy XLs from every trade. The emphasis lies on Candies and Candy XLs in this Community Day event because Timburr is not a common spawn in Pokemon GO. It is usually locked in eggs and Raids. So, grinding Candies is simply not an option.
