How to Catch Shiny Jangmo-O in Pokémon Go

In June, an unusual scaly wonder will enhance that Community Day experience for Pokémon-Go fans, with Jangmo-o in the spotlight for the Community Day on June 21, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time. On top of the increased shiny rate, exclusive move, and event bonuses, trainer-this is probably your best chance ever to hunt that rare shiny Jangmo-o and develop it into a good PvP dragon. Here's how to make the most of it

Why Jangmo-o Community Day Matters

Jangmo-o is a rare Dragon-type Pokémon rarely seen by trainers. During Community Day, however, it spawns much more frequently-and with a far greater chance of encountering a shiny one, in that sleek silver and magenta color scheme highly valued by collectors and trainers alike.The shinies, though, are just one of the appealing aspects. If you evolve your Jangmo-o into Kommo-o during the event or up until June 28, 10 p.m, it will learn Clanging Scales, a Charged Move that gives it a slight edge in PvP, mainly Ultra.

Tips to Maximize Your Shiny Hunt

The goal is shiny hunting, so get fast spawns. Essentially:

• Use Incense to have the spawns coming towards you.
• Tap each Jangmo-o to check for shininess and immediately run if it's not.
• The Pokémon you have checked will face your avatar, providing an easy visual cue.
• Play around areas with several PokéStops and drop Lure Modules, which last the entire three hours.

For maximum chance at catching shinies, stack a Lucky Egg with XP bonus and a Mega-Evolved Dragon-type (Mega Salamence, Mega Charizard X) for extra candy per catch.

Don't miss these bonuses.

Community Day isn't just for shinies. From 2:00-5:00 and some even longer, a bunch of bonuses will apply:

• 3x Catch XP: Great for leveling quickly.
• 2x Candy when catching: Building up for Kommo-o evolution.
• 2x XL Candy chance: If you are above level 31, a chance to power up higher IV Pokémon.
• Half Stardust for Trades.
• One additional Special Trade.
• Photobomb surprises: Take a few snaps for bonus Jangmo-o encounters.

What to Do After the Event Ends

Missed the shiny outside of the three-hour community window? Don’t fret. The second part of the Timed Research, “Community Day Continued,” runs till 28 June, offering you more Jangmo-o with increased shiny odds. These also come with special themed backgrounds that are favorite collector items.

Clanging Scales may yet be obtained should you miss the Kommo-o evolution during event hours, either by utilizing an Elite Charged TM or at the December Community Day weekend when legacy moves are back.

It stands behind Garchomp or Rayquaza in raids, but with Dragon Tail, Clanging Scales, and Close Combat, Kommo-o truly shines inside Ultra League battles. There, bulk and utility win out over raw power.

Jangmo-o Community Day is more than just a shiny hunt. It's an event for resource farming, gaining XP, and prepping for PvP. And if you are running tight on time, couple a short Incense session with some tapping, and you might be lucky enough to get your rare shiny dragon that you've been bugging for.
