Pokemon GO Charmander Community Day Classic September 2023 Complete guide: Featured attacks, event bonuses, and more

After an initial tease that barely hid information, Niantic has finally revealed that Pokemon GO Community Day Classic September 2023 will feature Charmander, the Lizard Pokemon. The iconic Kanto starter is one of the most well-known Pokemon in the world, especially because of its evolved form, Charizard. Now, players will have a chance to catch a plethora of Charmander later this week.

Pokemon GO Community Day Classic will be held on Saturday, September 2, 2023, from 2 pm local time to 5 pm local time. During this period, players will encounter Charmander more frequently in the wild, along with a chance to catch its shiny variant..
