Two back-to-back Pokémon GO events land this week in Singapore, and if you only have time for one session, make it Sunday: Nickit’s Community Day falls right inside the Choose Your Path: Venom and Vines event window, giving you a double-dip of bonuses without having to juggle two separate calendars.
Choose Your Path: Venom and Vines (11–17 August)
The event runs from Monday 11 August at 10:00 local time through Monday 17 August at 20:00 local time (Singapore time). The “Choose Your Path” mechanic puts you in control: pick Poison-type or Grass-type encounters, and the game adjusts the wild spawn pool around your choice throughout the week.
Key highlights for the event window:
- Poison path: boosted spawns include Ekans, Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Grimer, Gulpin, Croagunk, and Skrelp
- Grass path: boosted spawns include Bulbasaur, Oddish, Bellsprout, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig, and Snivy
- Event raids: Poison- and Grass-type Pokémon appear in 1-star and 3-star raids across the event period
- Field Research: event-specific tasks rewarding encounters and Stardust
- Timed Research: a story-driven paid or free research track tied to the Venom and Vines theme
Both paths feed into the same weekly bonus structure, so you aren’t locked out of anything by your choice — you just see more of the Pokémon relevant to the type you selected.
Nickit Community Day — Sunday 16 August
Community Day falls on Sunday 16 August from 14:00 to 17:00 local time. Nickit — the Sly Pokémon introduced in Sword and Shield — takes the spotlight, with its shiny form available for the first time. Evolved to Thievul during or shortly after the event window, it will learn the exclusive Community Day move.
Standard Community Day perks apply:
- 3× Catch XP
- 2× Catch Stardust
- 2× chance of Trainers finding their Buddy Pokémon to bring extra presents
- Incense and Lure Modules active for 3 hours
- Special 1-star Raid Eggs featuring Nickit after the main window (16:00–17:00), with the Shiny rate elevated in Raid encounters
For Singapore players: head to Marina Bay Sands Promenade, East Coast Park, or any of the other high-density PokéStop clusters for the best spawn density during the three-hour window. Nickit’s Dark-type evolution Thievul is a solid pick for PVP in the Great League, so banking Candy XL ahead of the event is worth doing now.
Planning Your Week
The Venom and Vines event gives you seven days of bonus spawns, while Community Day is a tight three-hour window on Sunday. The practical play: run your path choice early in the week to farm Candy and Stardust, then go hard on Nickit on Sunday while the event bonuses are still active. The overlap means your Sunday Stardust catch bonus stacks on top of the Community Day 2× multiplier.
