This April’s Community Day Classic invites you to meet Gobou, the Mudfish Pokémon, in the heart of three hours of intensive encounters. Indeed, it will be featured this Sunday, April 10 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Niantic’s game, Pokémon GO. To help you out, we’re taking a look back at this little creature in this Community Day guide.
Once upon a time there was a Community Day
For a few years now, players of the mobile game have been entitled to a special day each month highlighting a particular Pokemon for a few hours. Seen like that, it’s not necessarily incredible, but there are also interesting bonuses like the increase in the meeting of chromatic forms or even the time of Incense and Lures which is tripled.
Since the beginning of the year, Niantic has implemented a second type of Community Day that allows old creatures to try their luck again as the star of the event. If you want to know all the details, the article below is for you.
Tips for making the most of the event
Since this event only lasts a few hours, you need to be well prepared and to help you, we offer you some tips to fully enjoy and optimize your meetings.
First of all, it will be necessary take into account your environment since depending on where you are, it will not be possible to maximize the meeting potential, but you can still take advantage of certain tips.
- Maximum optimization of encounters : using a Decoy module And of an Incense at the same time,
- Minimal Dating Optimization : using a Lure module or Incense.
Of course, moving around in real life will also allow you to find some, but incense and lures will guarantee you Pokémon quite often. Be careful though, Gobou is not 100% guaranteed to spawn on every creature that spawns, however, he has a high chance of appearing.

Gobou in shiny version
To finish this guide and allow you to have what you need, we will return to the shiny version of this family of Pokémon. Basically, they are all blue with orange, but In their chromatic form, they change from blue to purple. So remember to check the color of Gobou when you start an encounter.
