Pokémon Go Chespin Community Day Guide
Pokémon go There’s a Chespin Community Day event on January 7 from 2-5 pm your local time.
As expected with a Community Day event, Chespin will appear in large numbers, with a high probability that it will appear shiny. There are also some other bonuses and perks that we list below.
How to catch a shiny Chespin?
According to research conducted by the Pokémon community site The Silph RoadThe odds of shiny on Community Day are around 1 in 24, which means that if you keep playing over the three-hour period, you’ll find quite a few shiny Pokémon.

If you’re short on time or Poké Balls, you can pop a Smellthen quickly touch each Chespin to check the shiny ones, run from any non-shiny ones. Notably, any Chespins you’ve touched will face where your player is standing, so that will help determine which Chespins you might have checked.
What did Chespin’s evolution learn on Community Day?
If you evolve Quilladin into Chesnaught between 2pm and 10pm your local time, it will learn the charged move Frenzy Plant.
If you miss evolving it during this time, you can evolve it during the December Community Day weekend event to get a Frenzy Plant. If you don’t want to wait, you can use a elite TM to get moving.
How does Chesnaught do in the meta?
Chesnaught is a great PvE raid attacker. While it’s behind picks like Roserade and most Legendary Pokémon, it would be well worth getting a strong one to raid. Set it up with Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant for success.
Chesnaught works pretty well in PvP, and the addition of Frenzy Plant means it can take out more targets that would cause trouble in different tournaments. Set it up with Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant with Superpower to deal some serious damage.
