How to prepare for the Mareep Community Day event in Pokemon GO
Managing Pokemon Storage
Mareep is a semi-rare spawn in GO. It does not spawn that often unless it is being featured in an event. So, it would be advisable to grind for three hours during the Mareep Community Day Classic event and harvest as many Candies and Candy XL as you can.
Being a Community Day event, you will be catching a lot of monsters throughout the day. So, we would suggest that you keep 300 free slots in your Pokemon Storage. You would not want to waste time by catching and transferring during the event.
Managing Item Storage
Making space for different types of Poke balls would be the way to go during this event. Since Mareep will have boosted spawns, you do not have to worry about Berries. So, focus on keeping a stockpile of balls for this Community Day Classic.
How many Poke Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls should you keep for the Mareep Community Day event in Pokemon GO
As mentioned above, we are looking at more than 300 Mareep catches during the Community Day Classic event. So, anywhere between 500 and 750 balls would be ideal for this event.
You should try to collect more Great Balls and Ultra Balls than regular Poke Balls. These balls take up the same space as the regular ones, but they offer higher catch rates. As a result, you will have fewer failed catches when you are playing during the event.
Should you use Berries to catch Mareep during the Mareep Community Day in Pokemon GO?
As mentioned above, you will not need a lot of Berries during the Community Day Classic event, so you don't have to invest a lot of time.
Should you use Lures and Incenses during the Mareep Community Day event in Pokemon GO?
Lures are pointless during Community Day events as you will have to move around a lot while playing.
However, you can use Incense to increase the spawn of monsters near you. This way, you will have more resources for the creatures you catch.

Mareep Community Day Classic does not provide you with Stardust or XP bonuses, nor do you get Candy bonuses for Mareep.
However, there is the one-fourth Egg Hatch distance bonus. So, if you have a stack of 12 km eggs, this event is definitely worth the grind.
Should you buy the Mareep Community Day Classic event bundles from the Pokemon GO shop?
You will be coming across two deals during this event:
- If you spend 1,350 PokeCoins, you will get 50 Ultra Balls, one Elite Charged TM, five Super Incubators, and five Lucky Eggs.
- If you spend 480 PokeCoins, you will get 30 Ultra Balls, one Incense, three Super Incubators, and one Lure Module.
We feel that buying the first bundle would be beneficial as Elite Charged TMs are rare to come by. Furthermore, the bundle does provide a lot of value with the Lucky Eggs and Super Incubators.
