Machop Returns for Pokémon Go's May 2025 Community Day Classic

Pokémon Go's Might and Mastery season is set to end with a bang, featuring the return of the Community Day Classic focused on the powerhouse Pokémon, Machop. Mark your calendars for May 24th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when this Superpower Pokémon will dominate the wild, giving players a golden opportunity to enhance their Fighting-type team with this classic favorite.

Whether you're aiming to secure a formidable Machamp or seeking the elusive Shiny Machop, this event is your chance to shine. With increased spawn rates, you'll have better odds of encountering Shiny Machop in Pokémon Go.

By evolving Machoke during the event window or until May 31st at 10:00 pm local time, you'll obtain a Machamp with the Charged Attack Payback. This Dark-type move packs a punch with 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power in raids and Gyms, making it a valuable addition to your arsenal.

Dive deeper into the event with the exclusive Community Day Special Research story, available for $1.99. This story not only offers a Premium Battle Pass and Rare Candy XL but also boosts your chances of encountering Machop, including three with a Seasonal Special Background.

Don't miss out on the Timed Research, which provides additional incentives to log in post-event. Complete these tasks by May 31st to encounter a Machop with a Might and Mastery-themed Special Background and enjoy enhanced Shiny odds. And remember to use *Pokémon Go codes* for some extra freebies!

The event also brings a host of bonuses including 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Engage in Field Research and PokéStop Showcases for more opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with unique backgrounds.

As a cherry on top, the Pokémon Go Web Store will feature an Ultra Community Day Box for $1.99 starting May 14th, containing two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket.
