Pokémon Go Rookidee Community Day

Pokémon Go Rookidee Community Day

Rookidee emerges as the headline act for Pokémon Go’s August Community Day, occurring August 30th from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time.

This limited-time event provides opportunities to encounter both iridescent Rookidee variants and flawless 100% IV specimens. Trainers should prioritize capturing numerous Rookidee to optimize their chances.

Additional benefits include quarter-distance egg hatches and heightened spawn rates, making this an ideal time for resource gathering.

Shiny Rookidee Acquisition Guide

The metallic-themed evolutionary family debuted during Ultra Unlock: Steel and Scales, with shimmering variants featuring reversed plumage colors. The final form’s armor-like appearance pays homage to medieval knights through its steely gray transformation.

Standard and rare coloration variations across evolutionary stages

Community Day significantly boosts Shiny encounter rates. Persistent encounters combined with Incense usage substantially improve acquisition probabilities. Remember to check each spawn before moving to subsequent catches.

Optimal Rookidee Stats Analysis

Rookidee in-game appearance

Level 30+ trainers should prioritize these CP values for perfect IV specimens:

  • Standard encounters: 571 CP
  • Weather-boosted captures: 619 CP

These thresholds represent maximum wild CP values for respective encounter conditions. Lower-level trainers will observe proportionally reduced CP ranges.

Exclusive Evolutionary Move

Evolving Corvisquire into Corviknight between event start and September 6th at 10:00 PM local time grants access to Air Cutter. While this Flying-type Charged Attack offers type coverage, its energy cost and damage output make it situationally useful rather than meta-defining.
