Pokemon GO Community Day July 2020’s Featured Pokemon Is Gastly

Niantic and The Pokemon Company have announced the first details for July 2020’s Pokemon GO Community Day.

The next Pokemon GO Community Day will run on 19 July 2020 (11am to 5pm, local time). This time, the featured Pokemon is Gastly, the gaseous ghost-type Pokemon from Kanto. If players evolve Haunter into Gengar during the event or two hours afterwards, Gengar will learn the special move Shadow Punch.

Bonus buffs during the event will include 3-hour incense plus 1/4 egg hatching distance, and a Special Research story involving Ghastly will also be available for $1 USD. Here are more details from Niantic below:
