Summary
- Sewaddle will be the October Community Day featured Pokemon in Pokemon GO on October 5.
- Evolving Swadloon during the event grants Leavanny with the Fast Attack Shadow Claw.
- Special four-star raids against Swadloon will be available following the event.
Pokemon GO has revealed that Sewaddle will be the critter featured on October Community Day. Although it will be the month of Halloween, Pokemon GO players will have the chance to add the adorable little creature to their Pokedex and enjoy other bonuses available at the augmented reality game's monthly event.
Introduced in Gen 5, Sewaddle is a surprisingly useful little Bug/Grass-type for Pokemon players. With a body resembling a caterpillar, Sewaddle can use leaves and make clothes for itself, making it a much-loved critter for fashion designers. From level 20 onwards, it evolves into Swadloon, which in turn evolves into Leavanny only when it levels up with friendship at maximum level, making it an equally solid option for players due to its base stat.
Now, Pokemon GO has revealed that Sewaddle will be the featured monster on October's Community Day. The event will take place on October 5, starting at 10 am and ending at 5 pm local time, with Sewaddle appearing more frequently in the wild, and players having the chance to find a shiny one. Trainers who evolve Swadloon during the event will get a Leavanny that knows the Fast Attack Shadow Claw. Community Day-themed Special Research will be available for $1 USD, and among the available bonuses, players will earn double Candy when catching Pokemon, reduced Stardust cost for Trades, and extended duration for Lure Modules.
