Trainers,

Hold your seat belts as one of the best Pokémon to be introduced in all Pokémon generations, is going to be spawning like rain during June Community Day!

Yes, you heard it right Larvitar has been confirmed as the next Community Day Pokémon!

[Spoiler Ahead]

Apart from that the Exclusive move which was to be revealed later got leaked in the Chinese and Japanese in-game news.

Chinese In-game news Japanese In-game news

In the Japanese translation it says that the pokemon will be able to learn a new moveset, うちおとす、which translates to Smackdown.

Japanese Translation: The next “Pokemon GO Community Day” is planned for Saturday, June 16th, 12-15 Japan time. The Pokemon swarming this time is the Rock-Ground-type Pokemon “Larvitar”! Also, if you evolve a Pupitar to a Tyranitar during the 3 hours of the event, the Tyranitar will know [a special move][Smack Down]. *Only Tyranitars evolved during the event will know the special move.

It seems like the Japanese and Chinese translators forgot to remove the brackets which were supposed to be announced later. Since [特別なわざ][うちおとす] were both in brackets, they were probably supposed to remove one of them (and the brackets) for the first press release & then swap it out for the second one.

So it confirms Smack Down will be the exclusive move during the 6th Community Day!

Smack Down Move

Smack down is a ROCK type fast move

  • Smack Down Tyranitar would be the best ROCK type attacker in the game
  • Some other rock type Pokémon would greatly benefit too but Tyranitar would still outperform them
  • It will rank pretty high against other generalists too.

And Obviously like Previous community days, Shiny Larvitar family will be released, if you’re wondering how shiny Larvitar will look, we have a preview for you.
