Sunday, July 19th is our big day for Gastly's Community Day.
- Gengar will learn the elite move Shadow Punch if evolved during event hours
- A special research line featuring Gastly will be available for $1
- A special box featuring an Elite Fast TM will be available
- Incense lasts 3 hours
- 1/4 egg hatch distance (does not stack with existing bonuses)
While Gastly and its evolutionary family has been available in Shiny forme for some time now, it's still recommended to partake in this event, as it can give players a chance to get solid Haunter/Gengar for PvP, as well as open up the future for something else entirely...
