Pokemon GO Community Day Classic August 2024 to feature Gen III Iron Ball Pokemon

The featured Pokemon for the Pokemon GO Communty Day Classic August 2024 has finally been confirmed, with Beldum set to be in the limelight. The Beldum Community Day took place in Pokemon GO on October 21, 2018, with Meteor Mash as the featured attack and 1/4 Egg hatch distance as the event bonus. Niantic is yet to reveal the full details of what we can expect from this month's classic event.

Beldum sports a Steel- and Psychic-type combination and debuted in Generation III. Pokemon GO trainers will be delighted with the latest developments as the Iron Ball Pokemon's final evolution stage is Metagross, a formidable Pocket Monster to have, especially for PvE.

Niantic revealed the Beldum August 2024 Community Day Classic event with a short clip on the Pokemon GO X channel. In the video, the camera pans around in a cave, where viewers can catch a quick glimpse of the Iron Ball Pokemon before the screen turns to black.

We will likely hear more from Niantic in the coming days, especially regarding the event bonuses involved. For those unaware, the August 2024 Community Day Classic event takes place on August 18 from 2 pm local time to 5 pm local time. Given that the classic events usually provides an increased chance of encountering a shiny, trainers can also get lucky and capture a Shiny Beldum.

The featured attack for the event is likely to be the Steel-type move Meteor Mash. It sports 100 power in both Trainer battlers, Gyms, and raids. Trainers will be able to get it by evolving Metang (Beldum's first evolution stage) into Metagross during the event or up to two hours afterwards.

Beldum can be evolved into Metang with the help of 25 candy. It can be further evolved into Metagross with 100 more candy. For now, the mega evolved form of the latter isn't available in Pokemon GO.
