Pokémon GO Tepig Community Day Guide

Here’s another fun Pokémon fact: many Fire type Pokémon channel their signature flames through their mouths. Tepig, on the other hand, launches powerful fireballs from its large snout instead. If Tepig ever becomes sick, however, it loses that ability, and is only able to produce wisps of smoke. Thanks for attending my Tepig Talk, now go catch one yourself. Here’s a guide on the Tepig Community Day in Pokémon GO.

Niantic has announced that the very first Pokémon GO Community Day event for the month of July will feature the Generation V Fire-type starter Pokémon, Tepig. Next Saturday, July 3rd, from 11 AM to 5 PM local time, Tepigs will be appearing in mass in the wild, with a much greater chance to spawn as shinies in the process. During the event, if you can evolve a caught Tepig into Pignite, the subsequent evolution into Emboar will include the limited edition Fire-type move Blast Burn. It has to evolve during the event, though as usual, there’s a post-event grace period of two hours where you can still get Blast Burn.
