Pokmon Go Mankey Community Day guide
Pokmon Go is having a Mankey Community Day event on Sunday, Nov. 10, from 2-5 p.m. in your local time.As expected with a Community Day event, Mankey will spawn in huge numbers with a high chance for it to appear shiny. There are also several other bonuses and perks, which weve list out below.How do I catch a shiny Mankey in Pokmon Go?As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), Shiny rates on Community Days are about 1 in 24, which means that if you keep playing throughout the three-hour window, you should find quite a few shiny Pokmon.If youre short on time or Pok Balls, you can pop an Incense, then quickly tap each Mankey to check for shiny ones, running from any that arent shiny. Notably, any Mankey youve already tapped will face where your player is standing, so that should help identify which ones you may have already checked.What Community Day move does Mankeys evolution learn?If you evolve Mankey or Primape into Primeape or Annihilape from 2 p.m. until 10 p.m. in your local time, it will learn the charged move Rage Fist.Primeape has an unusual evolution requirement to evolve into Annihilape usually. However, for this Community Day, the usual method has been temporarily replaced with an easier method: set Primeape as your buddy and catch 20 fighting-type Pokmon. This will be active from 2-10 p.m. in your local time, so use this to take advantage and evolve those Mankey and Primeape.If you miss out on evolving it during this period, you will likely be able to evolve it during a Community Day weekend event in December to get Rage Fist. If you dont want to wait, you can use an Elite TM to get the move.How does Annihilape do in the Pokmon Go meta?Unfortunately as of this writing, we dont know the exact stats for Rage Fist. (Full disclosure: We prep these posts a few days ahead of time, as we dont typically work on weekends!) PvP-focused websites like PvPoke are predicting that Rage Fist will help out Annihilape and Primeape re-enter the meta after the nerfs that came in with the PvP shake-up earlier in the season.Rage Fist's stats won't be confirmed until release. As it stands, it should lift Annihilape back into the meta and make Primeape a dangerous sweeper.Primeape is the bigger sim hero, so realistically I'd say it's a notch above Machamp and Pangoro.https://t.co/HeHq3LjisS pic.twitter.com/Ljfc5Cl27G PvPoke.com (@pvpoke) November 7, 2024In terms of PvE content (raids and gyms), Annihilape sits in the top 20 of ghost-type attackers when you get rid of shadow Pokmon and Megas, but that doesnt mean much. Its outclassed by many more commonly found Pokmon: Gengar and Chandelure, as well as a plethora of Legendary Pokmon, like Lunala, Origin Forme Giratina, Darkrai, Mewtwo you get the picture. You can totally build and invest in an Annihilape if you want, but since it has no ghost-type fast move available, Rage Fist will likely not push it up the ladder compared to these long-standing meta picks.How do I make the most of Mankey Community Day?The following bonuses will be active during Mankey Community Day:Tripled XP for catching PokmonDoubled candy for catching PokmonDoubled chance for level 31+ trainers to get XL candy from catching PokmonIncense lasts three hoursLure Modules lasts three hoursMankey special photobombs when taking snapshotsOne additional special tradeStardust cost halved for tradingThat said, you should definitely pop a Lucky Egg and an Incense and try to nab some powerful Mankey.If you can Mega Evolve Heracross, Blaziken, Medicham, Lopunny, or Lucario, youll score additional Mankey Candy per catch.In addition to all this, Niantic is still running special four-star raids from 5-10 p.m., where if you clear the Primeape raid, Mankey will spawn in a 300-meter radius around the gym for 30 minutes. These raids cannot be done remotely. If the usual 2-5 p.m. spawn increase doesnt get you the Mankey you wanted, you can try raiding for another chance.
