How to prepare for the Porygon Community Day Classic event in Pokemon GO

Managing Pokemon Storage

Porygon is a very rare Pokemon with a fantastic shiny variant. So, you will want to catch as many as possible to get your hands on the shiny version. Also, since it is rare to come by, this event can be utilized to farm Candies and XL Candies for Porygon.

Thus, you should have at least 300-400 slots in your Pokemon Storage for catching Porygon during the event. Since it lasts for only three hours, you should not waste time clearing your Pokemon Storage during it.

Niantic has recently increased the maximum capacity of your Pokemon Storage and Item Storage. So, you can purchase some slots if you cannot remove the existing monsters from your bag.

Managing Item Storage

Porygon will have boosted spawns in the wild. So, if you want to get farm Candies and XLs, you can catch a lot of them and get the desired quantity of Candies, making the use of Pinap Berries optional. We do not feel you will need any other Berry variants, either. This is because catching Porygon is not a hard task.

This way, you can allot most of the space in your Item Storage to Poke Balls. You will need a lot of Balls during this event, given how many creatures you will be catching.

It is advisable to stack Great Balls and Ultra Balls for the event as these have a higher catch rate in the game. This way, you reduce the chances of the Pokemon breaking free while you are playing. Since the event only lasts for three, you should not be wasting time behind creatures breaking free from Poke Balls.

Should you use Lures and Incenses during the Porygon Community Day Classic event in Pokemon GO?

Porygon will already have boosted spawns during this event. So you do not have to use Lures and Incense. This is especially the case for Lures since you must move around to make the most out of the event. So, using a Lure at a stationary PokeStop would be wasting that item.
