In May 2023, Fennekin, the adorable Fox Pokémon of Generation VI, will be featured in its own Community Day in Pokemon Go. Trainers who’ve played Pokémon X or Y will be familiar with Fennekin, as it was the Fire-type Starter of Kalos. Fennekin has two additional pocket monsters in its Evolution line: Braixen and Delphox. You’ll need 25 Candies for its Evolution into Braixen and 100 more for Delphox. Accordingly, May 2023 Community Day: Fennekin is the perfect opportunity to collect its Candy in Pokemon Go.
When Is Pokemon Go Fennekin Community Day?
Pokemon Go‘s Community Day: Fennekin will take place on Sunday, May 21, 2023. It will start at 2:00 p.m. and conclude at 5:00 p.m. local time. During this event’s duration, you have an increased chance of encountering Wild Fennekins. You might also meet Shiny Fennekin, which is gray in contrast to its golden yellow fur.

If you evolve Braixen into Delphox during Fennekin’s Community Day in Pokemon Go, the Fire- and Psychic-type Fox Pokémon can learn special Moves. Specifically, any Delphox will be capable of learning the Charged Attack Blast Burn and the Charged Attack Mystical Fire. Please note that Braixen’s Evolution must occur during or within five hours after the event’s duration.
The Community Day Special Research Story: “Fur and Flames,” will be available for purchase during Community Day: Fennekin. The story’s ticket will cost $1 and will grant you an exclusive questline for valuable rewards. Additionally, unique four-star Raid Battles featuring Braixen will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time on May 21, 2023. If you claim victory over one of these Raids, Fennekin’s spawn rate will increase around the Gym for 30 minutes. As a result, this occurrence is another excellent opportunity to potentially encounter Shiny Fennekin in Pokemon Go!
