It appears that the Pokémon Go Community Day Pokémon for May 2024 is Bounsweet, after an accidental notification in the app gave the whole thing away.
I played Pokémon GO's BEST Community Day!
The early reveal means that for the first time in Pokémon Go Community Day history, Niantic has broken with the bimonthly tradition of releasing a new starter Pokémon. Rowlet was released in January 2024, Litten in March 2024, and Popplio was originally supposed to be released in May, but it looks like it won’t be until next month unless Niantic delays it further. The horror.
That reveal hasn’t been officially confirmed yet and comes courtesy of a recent Reddit post with an in-app message that appears to have been posted early. It follows a tease from Niantic yesterday that showed Toucannon flying over a bush before a Bounsweet briefly jumps out.
The fact that two Pokémon were shown led to some confusion about what the Community Day Pokémon would be. Some trainers thought it would be a double Community Day, which sounds great, but that turns out not to be the case.
