Pawmi, Pawmo, and Pawmot have gained a reputation since their debut in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet for being particularly tough Pokemon. While starting out as an Electric-type in Basic form, Pawmi’s Stage One and Two evolutions gain a dual Fighting-type that makes it a particularly tough opponent to beat. Because of this, grabbing one with good stats during Community Day is worthwhile for competitive Pokemon Go players.
Niantic has just confirmed the event with an official announcement, originally hinting at it with a teaser dropped on the official Pokemon Go social media account. Ahead of the announcement, the event was broken down by reputable leak account LeekDuck. Below is everything to know about the upcoming Pawmi Community Day in Pokemon Go.

The Pokemon Go Pawmi Community Day will take place on May 11, 2025, from 2 PM through 5 PM local time. During the event, Pawmi will spawn at very high rates on the GPS map and be featured in special encounters for Research and other tasks.
Can Pawmi Be Caught Shiny During The Community Day?
Yes, Pawmi can appear as Shiny during encounters. The Electric-type rodent will appear as Shiny more frequently, giving players a chance to add its color variant to their teams.
