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

As the Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go draws to an epic close, the Community Day Classic event is set to spotlight the powerhouse, Machop. Mark your calendars for May 24th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when this Superpower Pokémon will dominate the wild. This is your golden window to enhance your Fighting-type team with this classic favorite.

If you've missed out on securing a robust Machamp or are eager to hunt for that elusive Shiny Machop, this event is your prime opportunity. Machop will appear more frequently, increasing your chances of encountering its Shiny variant in Pokémon Go.

During the event, or until May 31st at 10:00 pm local time, evolve a Machoke to obtain a Machamp that knows the Charged Attack Payback. This Dark-type move packs a punch with 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power in raids and Gyms.

Dive deeper into the event with the exclusive Community Day Special Research story, available for $1.99. This story rewards you with a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, additional Machop encounters, and three Machop adorned with a Seasonal Special Background.

Moreover, the Timed Research offers additional incentives to log in. Complete these tasks post-event to earn a Machop encounter featuring a Might and Mastery-themed Special Background, along with increased Shiny odds. Remember, these tasks expire on May 31st. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to claim your free rewards!

Event bonuses include 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Additionally, engage in Field Research and PokéStop Showcases for more opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with unique backgrounds.

To cap it all off, the Pokémon Go Web Store will offer an Ultra Community Day Box for $1.99 starting May 14th, which includes two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket.
