Frigibax Community Day — Key Details

Date: Saturday, 20 June 2026
Event hours: 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM local time
Extended evolution window: Evolve Arctibax until 9:00 PM to get the exclusive move
Featured Pokémon: Frigibax (Dragon / Ice, Paldea Region)
Shiny available: Yes — boosted shiny odds during the 3-hour window

Frigibax is the 102nd Community Day Pokémon in the game’s history. It evolves into Arctibax and then into Baxcalibur, a dual Dragon/Ice powerhouse that has seen solid use in raids and PvP since its Paldean debut.

Exclusive Move: Glaive Rush on Baxcalibur

The headline reward is Glaive Rush, a Charged Attack that Baxcalibur learns only if you evolve Arctibax during the event window or within four hours after it ends (up to 9:00 PM). According to the official Pokémon GO announcement, Glaive Rush carries 105 power in Gyms and Raids and 90 power in Trainer Battles, making this one of the stronger Dragon/Ice moves available in the current meta. If you already have a high-IV Baxcalibur from a previous evolution, this is a good time to invest Candy and unlock it on a second one with the event move.

All Community Day Bonuses

3× Stardust from catches

2× Candy from catches

Increased chance of Candy XL (for Level 31+ trainers)

Incense duration extended to 3 hours

Lure Modules last 3 hours (place one at 2:00 PM and it covers the full event window); Frigibax also appears near PokeStops with active Lures through 9:00 PM

1 additional Special Trade per day (max 3 during Community Day hours)

50% reduced Stardust cost on trades (2:00 PM to 9:00 PM)

The 3× Stardust bonus is the one to maximise — use a Star Piece to triple it further, and you’re looking at a very efficient afternoon of farming one of the game’s most universally needed resources.

Special Research Ticket

A paid Special Research ticket is available for US$1.99 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency — check the in-app store for the exact SGD amount). This unlocks Community Day-exclusive research tasks and additional encounter rewards beyond what’s available for free during the event.

Last words

With Glaive Rush making Baxcalibur a proper raid pick and the 3× Stardust bonus sweetening the pot, this is a Community Day worth blocking out your Saturday afternoon for. Singapore’s weather in June can be unpredictable, so have your portable charger and a rain plan ready. Happy hunting, trainers — check out our other events for more of what’s coming up in Singapore’s gaming calendar.

The Pokémon GO Fest world tour kicks off its Copenhagen leg today (12–14 June), and while we’re not all flying to Denmark, that’s fine — because the event that matters most to Singapore trainers lands right here at home on 11–12 July. And for the first time in GO Fest history, it is completely free.

What Is Pokémon GO Fest 2026 Global?

GO Fest 2026 is a celebration of Pokémon GO’s tenth anniversary, spanning three in-person city events (Tokyo, Chicago, Copenhagen) before going worldwide on 11–12 July. In past years the Global event required a paid ticket. This year, Niantic has made GO Fest 2026: Global free for every trainer who logs in during the event weekend — Special Research, increased Shiny rates, bonuses and all. No ticket needed, no SGD spent.

Event hours are 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. local time each day (SGT is the same as your device’s local time), plus nine all-day hours of gameplay each day as an extra anniversary gift. Check the other events on GameTrader for more Singapore-relevant dates coming up.

Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y Make Their Pokémon GO Debut

The headline attraction: Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y arrive in Pokémon GO for the first time ever during GO Fest 2026 Global. They’ll appear in Super Mega Raid Battles — Mega Mewtwo X on Saturday, Mega Mewtwo Y on Sunday. Via a branching Timed Research you’ll choose which form to pursue, and every Mega Mewtwo caught from raids comes with at least one Mega Level already unlocked, meaning you can Mega Evolve it for free straight away. That’s massive for any trainer who has been hoarding Mega Energy.

The in-person Copenhagen attendees get first access this weekend, but the full debut — open to all trainers globally — is the 11–12 July Global event. Singapore trainers: that is your window.

Zeraora Is Coming to Pokémon GO

Zeraora, the Thunderclap Pokémon, also makes its Pokémon GO debut during GO Fest 2026. All trainers who log in during the Global event weekend receive Special Research leading to a Zeraora encounter — and the research does not expire, so you can complete it at your own pace after the event. Mythical Pokémon with no time pressure is a rare gift.

What Singapore Trainers Get for Free on 11–12 July

Here’s the full haul for any trainer who simply logs in:

Special Research → Zeraora encounter (non-expiring)
Branching Timed Research → choose Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y
Up to 9 free Raid Passes from Gyms each day
Up to 6 Special Trades per day
50% Stardust discount on trades
1-hour Lure Modules
9 hours of Party Play active (grab your gamer friends)
Increased Shiny encounter rates across hourly habitat rotations
Starter Pokémon in Pikachu visors (evolvable) via Incense

Habitats rotate through all 18 Pokémon types hourly, including themes like Stormfire Peaks and Dragonflight Summit. Five-star raids feature heavy-hitters like Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, and Giratina. The Shiny “team hat” Pikachu variants from the city events will also be available globally.

Community Celebrations Near Singapore

Niantic is hosting 26 free Community Celebrations worldwide during GO Fest 2026 Global, with Mega Mewtwo Raid Battles and pop-up activities. The closest stops to Singapore are Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok in the Asia-Pacific lineup. Singapore itself is not on the list this year, but the entire game-wide event runs anywhere you have a phone signal — no travel required.

Last Words

GO Fest 2026 Global on 11–12 July is shaping up to be the most accessible event Niantic has ever run: free entry, two brand-new Mega Evolutions, a Mythical Pokémon, and a full day’s worth of bonus raid passes. There’s really no reason for any Singapore trainer to sit this one out. Mark the date, charge your portable battery pack, and start planning your raiding squads.
