Pokémon GO Zorua Community Day Takes Place Today With Triple Catch XP

Pokémon GO's October Community Day takes place today, Saturday October 10, with Zorua appearing more frequently between 2pm and 5pm local time. The mischievous Dark-type Pokémon is particularly appropriate for an event built around unusual encounters because it normally disguises itself as another Pokémon. Today's increased appearances provide opportunities to encounter Shiny Zorua and individuals carrying special backgrounds.

Evolving Zorua into Zoroark during the event or within four hours afterwards awards the exclusive Fast Attack Sucker Punch. The bonuses are generous, particularly for players concentrating on experience and character progression. Catching Pokémon provides triple XP and double Candy, while trainers level 31 and above receive twice the usual chance of obtaining Candy XL. Incense activated during the event lasts three hours, and regular Lure Modules can continue attracting Zorua until 9pm.

Additional trading bonuses also remain active until 9pm, including reduced Stardust costs and an extra Special Trade. Optional Special Research costs approximately $1.99 and includes additional encounters and premium rewards. Although the event was announced previously, today is the actual opportunity to participate. Players interested in the featured move should remember that the evolution deadline is 9pm local time.

Zorua's disguise mechanic has always encouraged trainers to pay closer attention to their surroundings. Today, it may also encourage them to spend three hours enthusiastically catching what initially appears to be the same Pokémon over and over again.
