Pokémon Go’s May 2023 Community Day has been announced, and it features Fennekin, the Fox Pokémon. While the event is happening, Fennekin will appear more often in the wild, and it has the chance to appear in its shiny version.
If you can evolve Fennekin to its final form, Delphox, during the Community Day event, it will learn the charged attack Blast Burn. However, at the end of the event, Delphox will be able to learn a second, new Fire-type move, potentially making it a powerful addition to the Pokémon Go meta. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Fennekin Community Day for May 2023 in Pokémon Go.
