Infernape to get Blast Burn when evolved during Chimchar Community Day

On October 16, 2019, Niantic officially announced that the Community Day for November 2019 will be Chimchar! Infernape evolved during the Community Day will know an exclusive move.

Chimchar’s Community Day takes place on November 16th, with boosted spawns from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time. Infernape’s exclusive Community Day move was not announced, but we expect it will be Blast Burn Fire. November Community Day Bonuses are 1/4 hatch distance for all eggs incubated during the event.

Update: Niantic has confirmed that Infernape evolved from Chimchar will get Blast Burn as Community Day exclusive move!

Shiny Chimchar, Monferno and Infernape will also be released during the November Community Day. As with all previous Community Days, players will benefit from increased shiny odds during the event.

Chimchar is boosted by Sunny weather, which is rare in November. If you’re not extraordinarily lucky, or live in the South Hemisphere, chances are you will not have weather boosted encounters during the November Community Day.

Chimchar is the second Generation IV starter to be featured in a Community Day. Turtwig was featured in September Community Day, Trapinch was featured in October Community Day and Chimchar is featured in November. If we follow the same line of thinking, January Community Day should feature Piplup. Of course, December Community days (yes, multiple day event), will probably be a special event and shift the schedule one month forward.
