Recently, a Twitter poll was launched by the official Pokemon Go Twitter, asking trainers to vote on which Pokemon they’d like to see most in an upcoming Community Day event. Out of the four choices (Squirtle, Sandshrew, Gastly, and Weedle), the top two were selected to be Weedle and Gastly (Weedle at first place with 34.1% of the vote and Gastly at second with 32.3% of the vote).

This means that Weedle and Gastly will be featured in the June and July 2020 Community Day events, although it is unsure which will be featured in June and which will be selected for July.

The official announcement for the winners is included below, along with the poll results.

Pokemon GO players can use PokeCoins in-game to receive premium items. These can currently only be earned by defending Gyms, but Niantic will soon be mixing things up. The company announced today that it is exploring new ways to earn PokeCoins while playing in one place.

A test run will soon be rolling out in Australia before rolling out worldwide, which will involve daily activities like evolving a Pokemon, making a great throw, catching a Pokemon, and more. Completing them will let you earn five PokeCoins. It’s also been announced that the number of PokeCoins earned from defending Gyms will be lowered from six per hour to two and the maximum number you can earn in a day will be raised to 55.
