Pokemon Go Eevee Community Day lands this weekend, bringing Shiny Eevee, Last Resort and Stardust Bonuses

Pokemon Go continues its string of summer events – and the next Pokemon to get the community day treatment is a good'un. This weekend: Eevee community day.

The Eevee Community Day event follows on from a lot of other community-driven Pokemon Go events. We've had Squirtle in sunglasses, Pokemon Safari Zone in Dortmund, Pokemon Go Fest in Chicago, and a Zapdos Day Event – now it's Eevee's turn, with the event taking place on this Saturday and Sunday.

Eevee is of course one of the most popular Pokemon thanks to its wide range of Eevee Evolutions in Pokemon Go and the rest of the Pokemon series. In Go Eevee can currently evolve into five different forms: Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon from gen 1 and Epseon and Umbreon from gen 2.

The prospect of shiny versions of all these different evolutions has fans excited for obvious reasons – but to achieve that you'll need a bunch of shiny Eevee and a whole lot of candy – but this event provides you with the opportunity to make that happen. Here's all the information we have on the upcoming Eevee event so far…

Pokemon Go Eevee Community Day Start Time & End Time

This event is a worldwide affair, and it'll run for all Pokemon Go players on August 11 and August 12. That's this Saturday and Sunday, so clear your schedules – you've got three hours on each day in which Eevee will spawn more commonly out in the wild – and this in itself carries with it a lot of rewards, which we'll get into in just a moment. If the Eevee Community Day event is anything like the one for Squirtle, a diligent player will be able to catch a whole lot of Eevee in a very short time, thus grinding out a lot of Eevee Candy and different catches in hopes of getting one with a good set of stats.

Here's the Eevee Community Day event stat time and end time – essentially, the time each major region will see their Eevee Spawn rates increased. The effects of the event will only take place in these hours, so be careful to make sure you get somewhere that's decent for walking around and passing some Pokestops for these hours:

• Eevee Community Day Hours in Europe & Africa: 10am – 1pm British Summertime
• Eevee Community Day Hours in North America: 11am – 2pm Pacific Time / 2pm – 5pm Eastern Time
• Eevee Community Day Hours in Asia/Pacific: 12pm – 3pm Japan Standard Time
  

As a reminder, there's also some buffs in these hours. Lures will last for 3 hours at a time (so dropping one on a nearby Pokestop will last the entire duration of the event) and trainers will get triple stardust for catching Pokemon. Pair this with a Star Piece and you're in for a real treat Stardust-wise, really letting you buff your Pokemon.

Remember that you may want to hold on to a couple of Shiny and non-Shiny Eevee at the end of the event – even once you've evolved to get all five of the current Eevee Evolutions, another two Eevee Evolution Pokemon are on the way pretty soon.
Pokemon Go Eevee Community Day Rewards: Shiny Eevee, Last Resort Move and more

Obviously, the main reward for taking part in Pokemon Go's Eevee Community day this August will be the chance to catch yourself a whole lot of Eevee. This has a few benefits: it gets you the Pokemon, the candy, and potentially a Pokemon that can evolve into one of the strong Eevee Evolutions, a few of whom are some of the best Pokemon in Pokemon Go ranging right the way across every Pokemon type in the game.

There are other bonuses, however: specifically, there's a much higher chance that Eevee that spawn during the duration of the Eevee Community Event will be shiny Eevee with their unique coloring – and this coloring will carry over to the evolved forms of the Pokemon if you so wish. Given the broad nature of the potential evolution options, this is an event with a lot more potential outcomes than your average, which is cool.

The Eevee you catch will also be guaranteed to have the move Last Resort, too. Last Resort is an all-new Normal-type two-bar charge move for your Eevee. This is a powerful move over in the other Pokemon games, and so though we don't have the Pokemon Go stats for the move yet, it's sure to be a pretty decent one.

There's also the stardust bonus – vital for powering up the Pokemon you end up catching and evolving. It definitely makes these three hours well worth playing during.
