All Charmander Community Day Classic Special Research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

Pokémon's most overused Starter is back again.

Everyone’s favorite Fire-type Starter—or at least The Pokémon Company’s favorite—is returning to the Community Day stage from 2 to 5pm local time on Sept. 2. This means players will encounter Charmander more frequently, and with an increased chance of finding a Shiny during the event too.

During the event, if you evolve or catch a Charizard, it can know the Fast Attack Dragon Breath or Charged Attack Blast Burn. There is also Field Research to complete that will reward you with additional Charmander encounters, Charizard Mega Energy, and items too. 

Staple Community Day bonuses will also be live, like triple Stardust for catching Pokémon and a three-hour duration for Lure Modules and Incense for the event. Players can take part in PokéStop Showcases featuring Charmander during the event for some extra rewards too. 

If that isn’t enough content for you, there is a $1 Community Day Classic Special Research story that gives you more Charmander encounters, Charizard Mega Energy, and a lot of Stardust. I always think this is a fairly good deal if you plan on taking part in the event, but here’s a list of research tasks and rewards you can look over to see if it’s worth picking up.
