Event Overview: What to Expect on Solosis Community Day
Trainers, mark your calendars for the Solosis Community Day on Sunday, October 12, 2025. The event runs from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, with Lure Modules continuing to attract Solosis until 9:00 p.m. This extended window gives players extra time to hunt, collect, and evolve while chasing the debut of Shiny Solosis.
The day centers on a dramatic Solosis surge in the wild, a shiny debut, and a robust set of bonuses designed to boost Stardust, XP, and Candy. For collectors and battlers alike, this is a prime opportunity to stock up and upgrade a future Reuniclus with powerful, battle-ready moves.
Bonuses, Odds, and How They Help You
In addition to the triple Stardust, double XP, and double Candy per catch, the event introduces several trade and catch perks that accelerate progress:
- 3× Stardust per catch
- 2× XP for catches (stackable with XP bonuses)
- 2× Candy per catch
- 2× Candy XL for players at Level 31+
- Incense lasts 3 hours; Lure Modules last 1 hour
- One additional Special Trade (total of three per day) with a 50% Stardust cost reduction for trades
Shiny Solosis is making its debut with boosted encounter odds during the event window. Expect higher shiny rates at Lured Stops and the normal spawn rate boost for Solosis overall.
Exclusive Moves and Evolution: Reuniclus’s New Powers
The headline feature for competitive players is an exclusive move setup for Reuniclus. If you evolve Duosion during the event or up to four hours afterward, you’ll receive a Reuniclus that knows the Fairy-type Fast Move “Charm.” Charm provides 13 power in PvP and 20 power in raids, dramatically expanding Reuniclus’s utility in diverse formats.
Additionally, trainers who evolve up to October 19 will obtain a Reuniclus with the Charged Move “Shadow Ball,” enhancing its viability in multiple battle scenarios.
Field Research, Special Research, and Timed Tasks
The Solosis Community Day lineup includes themed Field Research that rewards Stardust, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, Pinap Berries, and Solosis encounters (some with special event backgrounds). A Special Research ticket can be purchased for $1.99 USD. This unlocks premium tasks and rewards such as multiple Solosis encounters with the Tales of Transformation background, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and extra rewards to boost your catching spree.
For free-play players, Timed Research is available and provides extra Solosis encounters and opportunities to increase shiny chances when activated during the event window.
Practical Prep Tips for Trainers
To maximize your haul and efficiency, plan ahead with these tips:
- Stock up on Poké Balls, Pinap Berries, and Lucky Eggs before the event.
- Use Star Pieces and Lucky Eggs during the event to amplify Stardust and XP rewards.
- Target Lure Modules after 5:00 p.m. to extend shiny opportunities and encounter times.
- Coordinate Special Trades with friends to leverage the extra trade and reduced Stardust costs.
- Prioritize evolving strong IV Solosis into Reuniclus before the deadline to secure exclusive moves.
Play It Safe but Play It Smart: Community Day Fun
Beyond catching, the event offers AR photobombs, PokéStop Showcases, and a friendly shiny-race vibe with peers. Completing all available Research tasks can unlock event-exclusive backgrounds and may further boost shiny encounter rates. It’s a day to enjoy the community, build stronger teams, and diversify your collection with new shiny and evolved forms.
