October Community Day: Litwick

October Community Day features Litwick, the Candle Pokémon. On October 15, 2022, from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. local time, Litwick will appear more frequently in the wild, and if you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny one.

Chandelure evolved during the event (or up to five hours afterward) will know the Charged Attack Poltergeist Ghost. Trainers will also get 3× XP and 2× Candy for catching Pokémon, with additional 2× chance of getting XL Candy for Trainers level 31 and up.

In addition to other bonuses, Lampent will appear in 4-Star Raids after the Community Day main three-hour window ends.

Litwick will appear more frequently in the wild. If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny Litwick during the event. Litwick will be appearing in large numbers during the event, and around defeated Gyms during the Lampent Raid Battles after hours event.

Featured attack: Poltergeist

Poltergeist is Chandelure’s exclusive Community Day move. It’s a Ghost-type Charged Attack that can be obtained by evolving Lampent (Litwick’s evolution) during the event, or up to five hours afterward.

Poltergeist stats are as follows:

• Trainer Battles: 140 Power
• Gyms and raids: 140 Power

We’ve written two large pieces on Poltergeist, clearing up confusion on whether or not it is useful in PvE and PvP:

• Chandelure as a Ghost-type and Fire-type Raid Attacker: Is Poltergeist Useful?
• A PvP Analysis on Community Day Chandelure and Poltergeist (and a peek ahead at Shadow Force!)

Bonus Raid Battles after Community Day

After the three-hour Community Day event ends, Trainers will be able to take on 4-Star Raid Battles featuring Lampent. Claiming victory in one of those raids will cause more Litwick to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes.

Our Lampent Raid Guide is up to date with optimal counters for Tier 4 Lampent raids.

You can only join these Raids in person, using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these Raids.

Bonuses for completing 4-Star Raid Battles

• Successfully completing a four-star Raid Battle against Lampent will trigger Litwick spawns around the Gym
• Litwick will be spawning in a 300-meter radius around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes
• If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny Litwick
• Litwick that appear around Gyms will have the same chance of appearing as Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during the Community Day’s three-hour event period
