Mahcop Community Day Classic takes place Saturday, May 24 from2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.

Choosing Machop for the next Pokémon GO Community Day Classic is a deliberate choice. The day after this event we have therelease of Gigantamax Machamp.That means this Community Day, as well as giving boosted shiny odds, is a great chance to stack up on candy and candy XL. You’ll need a lot of it to level up Max Moves and power up Gigantamax Machamp. There is also a really tasty 3x Stardust bonus!

So, as much as ever, this is a great chance to meet up with your friends and play some Pokémon GO.

Machop Community Day Classic will allow Trainers a second chance to get Payback as a Charged Attack for Machamp. However, Payback isn’t a great move for Machamp or Shadow Machamp in PvP or Raids, so this isn’t a huge deal.

This also applies to Shadow Machamp.
