Ten years on, the <strong>10th Anniversary Party<\/strong> runs from <strong>Saturday, July 4 at 10:00 AM through Monday, July 6 at 8:00 PM<\/strong> local time. The anniversary event is active before and after Community Day on July 4, meaning the two events fully overlap during the 2:00\u20135:00 PM window.<\/p>\n<h3>Gimmighoul Makes Its Debut<\/h3>\n<p>The headline feature of the anniversary event is <strong>Gimmighoul<\/strong>, the Coin Chest Pokemon from Scarlet and Violet, making its Pokemon GO debut here. Gimmighoul appears holding a 10th Anniversary Coin, and <strong>Shiny Gimmighoul<\/strong> is available from the start. It can also appear with a Special Background. A Timed Research is available for US$1.99 (or local equivalent) and includes a guaranteed Gimmighoul encounter alongside a Super Incubator and Premium Battle Pass.<\/p>\n<h3>Anniversary Wild Encounters and Shinies<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pikachu wearing a <strong>cake hat<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Eevee wearing a <strong>party hat<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Wurmple wearing a <strong>party hat<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All event-themed Pokemon have boosted shiny rates during the anniversary window. Earlier anniversary Pikachu forms have historically become collector\u2019s items \u2014 the cake-hat variant is worth grabbing.<\/p>\n<h3>Kanto Starter Legacy Moves Return<\/h3>\n<p>This is the big one for meta players who missed the original Community Days. During the 10th Anniversary event, evolving the Kanto starters unlocks their Community Day legacy Charged Attacks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ivysaur \u2192 <strong>Venusaur<\/strong>: gets <strong>Frenzy Plant<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Charmeleon \u2192 <strong>Charizard<\/strong>: gets <strong>Blast Burn<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Wartortle \u2192 <strong>Blastoise<\/strong>: gets <strong>Hydro Cannon<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Frenzy Plant Venusaur, Blast Burn Charizard, and Hydro Cannon Blastoise are all top-tier in both raids and certain PvP formats.
