Pokemon Go Community Day Classic Mudkip start time & end time

The event takes place on Sunday, April 10, 2022, and runs from 2 PM to 5 PM local time, giving you just three hours to participate.

In 2020, Community Day length was doubled to six hours but in 2022, Niantic revealed their decision to revert it, claiming that “only five percent of our Trainers tend to participate in the event for more than three hours.”

Because of this, it is highly important that you prepare in advance by ensuring you have enough Poke Balls and items so you don’t find yourself caught short on the day.

Players that evolve Mudkip’s second evolution, Marshtomp, into Swampert during the event and up to two hours afterward will receive a special exclusive move for the final form: Hydro Cannon.

Hydro Cannon is one of the Water/Ground-type’s best moves for Gyms and Raids, and also in the Go Battle League, meaning you won’t want to miss out on obtaining it.

Can Mudkip be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

The short answer is yes, Mudkip can be Shiny. There’s a chance you may encounter its adorable fuschia form during the event.

Shiny spawn rates are usually increased during Community Days so you could even find yourself walking away with multiple by the end of it. Good luck, Trainers!
