Niantic is bringing back Pokémon GO’s Community Day vote, but with a few big changes. Players might remember that the last community-decided event, in which Rhyhorn won, drew criticism for the way votes were counted. Players needed to go to a PokéStop to get a quest, then complete the quest to have one vote counted. The issue was that the quests were randomized, preventing players from actually casting the vote they wanted. Niantic is resolving this issue with the obvious solution – a Twitter vote.
On its blog, Niantic detailed how the vote will work. Players must go to the official Pokémon GO Twitter account between Saturday, May 23, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. PDT and Sunday, May 24, 2020, at 6:00 p.m. PDT. There they’ll find a Twitter poll and can cast their vote.
As for the candidates, Niantic outlined four Pokémon. They are:
- Squirtle, which would be able to gain Aura Sphere when it evolves to Blastoise. Weedle, a first-time shiny, with Drill Run as an attack when it becomes Beedrill. Sandshrew, with both regular and Alolan forms able to be shiny and Shadow Claw. Gastly, which would get Shadow Punch when it evolves to Gengar.
The second big change is that there will be two winners. The Pokémon with the most votes will be June’s Community Day, while the runner-up will be July’s. So be sure to vote for your favorite on the 23rd, they’ve all got a good chance!
