Pokemon GO Mudkip Community Day: Bonuses, Shiny Rates, Research, and More

There is a brand new Mudkip Community Day to get excited about in Pokemon GO. Community Days in the past have been amazing opportunities for shiny hunters to collect some essential shiny Pokemon as well as celebrate the star Pokemon. The Pokemon for this Community Day is Mudkip who is the fan-favorite Water-type starter Pokemon in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Here is everything you need to know about the Mudkip Community Day in Pokemon GO.

Mudkip Community Day Schedule

The Mudkip Community Day is kicking off on Sunday, April 10, at 2:00 p.m. local time and will last until 5:00 p.m. local time. That means that you only have three hours to soak in everything the Mudkip Community Day has to offer. Our advice is to split the day up by the hour. If you are looking to hunt for shinies, use Incense for an hour or two to grab as many Mudkip as you can. After that, check out the Special Research Story.

Can Mudkip Be Shiny?

Yes, Mudkip can be shiny in Pokemon GO. Not only that, the whole Mudkip family can be shiny in Pokemon GO. That means that Mudkip, Marshtomp, and Swampert are all shiny in Pokemon GO. And, to sweeten the deal even more, the entire shiny Mudkip family will have higher spawn rates during the entire Mudkip Community Day.
