Pokémon GO’s October 2026 Community Day will put Zorua in the spotlight on Oct. 10 from 2 to 5 p.m. local time, with the Tricky Fox Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild and offering increased chances to encounter Shiny Zorua and Pokémon with Special Backgrounds. Trainers who evolve Zorua during the event or within four hours afterward will receive a Zoroark that knows the Fast Attack Sucker Punch, while event bonuses include 3× XP and 2× Candy for catching Pokémon, a 2× increased chance of earning Candy XL for Trainers level 31 and up, longer Incense and Lure Module durations and reduced Stardust costs for trades. Zorua will also have a very high chance of appearing at PokéStops with active regular Lure Modules from 2 to 9 p.m., giving players additional opportunities to find the featured Pokémon after the main event period. Community Day Field Research will offer Stardust, Ultra Balls and extra Zorua encounters, while paid Special Research for $1.99 includes three Special Background Zorua encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, a Rare Candy XL and additional rewards.
