Why is Shiny Jangmo‑o So Special?
Jangmo‑o, the cute Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Gen 7 (Alola), evolves into the powerful Kommo‑o. With this Community Day, trainers not only get boosted spawns but also the exclusive move Clanging Scales for Kommo‑o when evolved during the event (or up to 10 PM local time). What makes Shiny Jangmo‑o extra special is:
- This is its Shiny debut in Pokémon GO.
- Shiny Jangmo‑o features striking gold and silver accents compared to the usual yellow and grey.
- Kommo‑o with Clanging Scales is expected to shake up PvP in Ultra League and Master League.
- Since Shiny rates are generally around 1 in 25 during Community Day, your goal should be to encounter as many Jangmo‑o as possible within the 3-hour window.
Best Strategies to Catch Shiny Jangmo‑o
1️⃣ Play in a high-density spawn are
If you want Shiny Jangmo‑o, you need volume. Choose a location with:
- Lots of PokéStops (like parks, malls, or city centers)
- Safe pedestrian paths so you can move around quickly
- Good mobile signal
📝 Tip: Before the event, scout your area on the Pokémon GO map. Identify cluster spawns where 3–4 PokéStops overlap.
2️⃣ Stack up on Supplies Beforehand
Make sure you’re prepared:
- At least 100–150 Poké Balls / Ultra Balls
- 30+ Pinap Berries (for extra Candy)
- Incense (x3) — lasts 3 hours during Community Day
- Lucky Eggs if you want to double XP
- Star Pieces for bonus Stardust
Nothing’s worse than running out of Poké Balls when you spot a shiny!
3️⃣ Use Incense and Lures strategically
During Community Day:
- Incense lasts 3 hours and will spawn Jangmo‑o regularly
- Lure Modules on PokéStops attract even more spawns
Combine Both:
- Play near a cluster of Lured PokéStops while having Incense active.
- If you can, play with Mega Evolved Pokémon (like Mega Salamence or Mega Altaria) to earn extra Candy and XL Candy for Jangmo‑o.
4️⃣ Quick catch technique = more spawns, more shinies
Time is key! Learn to use the quick catch trick:
- Hold down the Poké Ball icon and slide to the Berry icon.
- Throw the ball.
- As the ball hits the Pokémon, release your finger from the Berry icon and tap the screen to exit the encounter.
- Done right, you’ll catch the Pokémon without waiting for the shake animation.
- This lets you catch more Jangmo‑o per minute, increasing shiny odds.
5️⃣ Don’t forget to AR snapshot for photobomb spawns
Up to 5 photobombs during the event can give you extra Jangmo‑o encounters. Simply:
- Open AR mode.
- Take a photo of any Pokémon.
- Jangmo‑o will photobomb and trigger an encounter.
6️⃣ Group up with friendsCommunity Day is more fun — and efficient — with friends:
- Coordinate Lures across multiple PokéStops.
- Cover more area and alert each other about shiny sightings (sometimes visible on0 shared maps in AR mode).
- Trade after the event to fill missing shinies or get lucky Jangmo‑o.
7️⃣ Take advantage of post-event evolution window
From 2 PM to 10 PM local time, you can evolve Hakamo‑o into Kommo‑o and get Clanging Scales, the exclusive move. Even if you’re focused on catching shinies during the 3-hour event, you’ll have time afterward to:
- Appraise and evolve your best IV Jangmo‑o
- Power them up for PvP
- Use an Elite TM if you missed evolving during the window
8️⃣ Set realistic shiny goals
While Community Day shiny odds (~1 in 25) are generous, remember:
- Catch ~100 Jangmo‑o = 3–4 shinies average
- Play the entire 3 hours and aim for 300+ catches for best chance at multiple shinies
- Focus on volume — the more you catch, the better your odds!
Bonus: Shiny Jangmo‑o CP Ranges to Watch
When you encounter a Jangmo‑o, these CPs are 100% IV (hundo) benchmarks:
- Level 30 wild max CP: ~521
- Weather boost (Windy/Partly Cloudy): ~564
Spot these numbers? Golden! Consider evolving these or saving for PvP.
Post-Event: What to Do
After the event:
- Trade with friends for Lucky shiny Jangmo‑o
- Power up and evolve your best shinies
- Save spare shinies for future trades or special trades
