All Froakie Community Day and exclusive A Bubbly Disposition Special Research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

This is probably an event a lot of players were waiting for.

It is time for one of the most hyped-up Community Day events in Pokémon Go history, with Froakie finally joining the lineup and bringing a ninja storm to the game on Aug. 13 from 2pm to 5pm local time—with Special Research and some great extras too.

Along with the usual bonuses of triple Stardust and double Candy for catching Pokémon, players will have an increased chance to catch a Shiny Froakie during the event—with this being the first time the coveted Shiny Greninja is available in Pokémon Go

Just like other Starter Pokémon, evolving or catching a Greninja during this event will net you a Bubble Frog Pokémon that knows the Charged Attack Hydro Cannon. As a bonus, you can also learn the special Fast Attack Water Shuriken during this event too. 

Even after the event concludes, you can complete special four-star Frogadier raids from 5pm to 10pm local time for more bonuses. This includes increased Froakie spawns around the Gym where a raid is completed for 30 minutes—with the same boosted Shiny odds too. 

If you want a little bit of extra content, you can purchase a $1 ticket to access A Bubbly Disposition  Special Research story. I recommend grabbing this if you plan on training up several strong Greninja since the research is easy to finish and the rewards are worth the cost.
