With all that’s going on, people and companies have been getting creative in terms of how to stay entertained. There have been numerous event cancellations, delays, and closures but one thing is for sure – video games have been the lifeblood of quarantine initiatives across the world. To make up for the postponed March Community Day for Pokemon Go players, Niantic announced a reschedule for April 25th with a Play at Home Edition.

On Saturday, April 25th from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM (local time), Pokemon trainers will see Abra frequently appear in the wild alongside the usual bonuses of stardust, extended module duration, and special in-game bundles to purchase. Additionally, Community Day will last an entire six hours instead of three so you can take your sweet time to catch Abras and evolve some too! Here’s everything you can expect next week:

Pokemon Go Abra Community Day Features

• Abra will be appearing more frequently in the wild.
• If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny Abra.
• Evolve Abra during the event or up to two hours afterward to obtain an Alakazam that knows an exclusive attack. We’d like to announce here that that exclusive attack will be the Fighting-type Fast Attack Counter!
• For US$1 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), you’ll be able to unlock a Community Day–exclusive Special Research story—Investigating Illusions! Complete it for 13,000 Stardust, a Poffin, a Rocket Radar, and other rewards. Stay tuned for when tickets go live! The ticket to this Special Research story event is nonrefundable. Subject to applicable law and the exceptions set forth in the Terms of Service.
• Community Day will now run for six hours instead of the regular three.
• The bonus will now be 3× Catch Stardust. This will be the perfect time to collect Stardust and power up your Pokémon for the GO Battle League!
• Instead of Lure Modules, Incense will last for three hours for the duration of the event.
• Buddy Pokémon with a Buddy Level of Great Buddy or higher will bring you helpful items, such as Poké Balls, throughout the event. To take full advantage of this bonus, check out this help center article to learn how to get to Great Buddy with your buddy.
• There’ll be a special one-time purchase April Community Day bundle, featuring an Elite Charged TM, 30 Ultra Balls, three Super Incubators, and three Incense for 1,280 PokéCoins.
• Take a snapshot during Community Day for a surprise!

Despite the fact that Pokemon Go was meant to get people out and about, there’s only so much folks can do with the stay-at-home measures in place across the globe. So we’ve got to make do! After all, we’ve got to catch them all! Shinies included.
