Niantic has announced when May 2024’s Pokémon GO Community Day will take place and that Bounsweet will be the featured Pokémon.
The Community Days are monthly events that feature a special Pokémon that will appear frequently around the world for a few short hours. And, if caught during the event, the Pokémon will know an exclusive move.
Those who evolve Bounsweet into Steenee during the event or up to five hours afterwards can get a Tsareena that knows the Charged Attack High Jump Kick.
The Community Day will take place on Sunday 19 May 2024 from 2pm – 5pm local time, with the developer sharing further details below:
Featured Pokémon
Bounsweet will appear more frequently in the wild. If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny one!
Featured Attack

High Jump Kick:
Trainer Battles: 110 power and a chance to greatly decrease the user’s Defense.
Gyms and raids: 90 power

Bonus Raid Battles after Community Day
Sunday, May 19, 2024, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time
After the three-hour Community Day event ends, Trainers will be able to take on special four-star Raid Battles. Claiming victory in one of these raids will cause more Bounsweet to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes!
Four-Star Raid Battles
Steenee will appear in four-star raids! You can only join these raids using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these Raid Battles.
Four-Star Raid Battle Bonus
Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Steenee, additional Bounsweet will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!
Bounsweet that appear under these circumstances will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during May Community Day’s three-hour event period.
Field Research
May Community Day–themed Field Research will be available! Catch Bounsweet to earn rewards such as Stardust, Great Balls, and additional encounters with Bounsweet and more!
