The March community day is only a few weeks away, and this time, players will be catching the Psychic-type Pokemon Abra. This slumbering Pokemon has a low spawn rate in urban settings, but for one day, this will change, and they will be appearing at an increased amount. This is a great chance to catch not only all the Abra evolutions but shiny versions as well.

The community day event will be on Sunday, March 15. Abra will appear more frequently from 11 A.M. to 2 P.M local time for all players on the northern hemisphere. For those in the southern hemisphere, you will have to wait until 3 P.M. and it last until 6 P.M. your local time.

Increased spawn and shiny rates are both expected. Like every other Pokemon GO community day, players can expect 3-hour Lures and 3x the catch XP during the event hours. So get out there and enjoy your local Pokemon community as you strive for a common goal.

So far there is no information as to what exclusive mode Alakazam will be leveled with but it is sure to be powerful. Niantic is also debuting a new type of Community Day storyline experience called Investigating Illusions, it is available for a mere $0.99.

If you do pay the slight fee, you will unlock a Special Research story. When this story is completed, players will be rewarded with 13,000 Stardust, a Poffin, a Rocker Radar, 3 Incense, and several other minor rewards. Make sure to pay attention to when tickets to the event go live and remember, the tickets are nonrefundable.
