Machop Returns for Pokémon Go's May 2025 Community Day Classic

Author : Jonathan May 26,2025

As Pokémon Go gears up for the epic finale of the Might and Mastery season, the spotlight shines on the Community Day Classic featuring the powerhouse, Machop. Mark your calendars for May 24th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when Machop will take center stage in the wild. This event offers a golden opportunity to bolster your Fighting-type lineup with this classic favorite.

Whether you're aiming to add a robust Machamp to your team or hunting for that elusive Shiny Machop, this event is your prime chance. Machop will appear more frequently, increasing your odds of encountering a Shiny one in Pokémon Go.

Evolve a Machoke during the event or up until May 31st at 10:00 pm local time, and you'll secure a Machamp that knows the Charged Attack Payback. This Dark-type move packs a punch with 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power in raids and Gyms.

For those eager to dive deeper, the exclusive Community Day Special Research story is available for $1.99. It includes a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, bonus Machop encounters, and three Machop with a Seasonal Special Background.

Additionally, the Timed Research adds extra incentive to participate. Complete the tasks post-event to earn a Machop encounter with a Might and Mastery-themed Special Background and enjoy boosted Shiny odds. Remember, these tasks expire on May 31st. Don't miss out on redeeming *Pokémon Go codes* for a slew of freebies!

Event bonuses include 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Field Research and PokéStop Showcases further enhance your chances to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with special backgrounds.

To sweeten the deal, the Pokémon Go Web Store will offer an Ultra Community Day Box for $1.99 starting May 14th, featuring two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket.
