Pokémon Go Mankey Community Day Research Guide

Pokémon Go’s next Community Day event is here, and having Mankey in the spotlight is great for casual and PvP players alike. 

From 2 to 5pm local time on Nov. 10, you can encounter Mankey more frequently when playing Pokémon Go. On top of that, if you manage to evolve Mankey into a Primeape and Annihilape during or right after the event, it will know an exclusive move as well. 

If you plan to take part in Pokémon Go’s November Mankey Community Day, here is all of the content you will have access too, including all of the event bonuses and exclusive content such as Raid Battles and Special Research.

All Pokémon Go: Mankey Community Day Event Bonuses

Most of these Pokémon Go Community Day bonuses will only be live during the event from 2 to 5pm local time.

  • Triple Catch XP
  • Double Catch Candy
  • Double the chance of getting Catch Candy XL (for players level 31 and up)
  • All players can perform two Special Trades on the day of the event.
  • Lure Modules and Incense activated during the event will last for three hours.
  • Trades require 50 percent less Stardust.
  • Limited-time change to Primeape's evolution requirements.
  • Bonus Raids

During this event, or before 10pm local time on Nov. 10, evolving a Mankey into Primeape and Annihilape will give it access to the Charged Attack Rage Fist. On top of that, you can evolve Primeape into Annhilape after catching 20 Fighting-type Pokémon with Primeape as your Buddy instead of needing to defeat 30 Ghost or Psychic-types in a battle first.

This is the best and easiest way to train up some strong Annihilape for PvP and Raid battling. That limited-time change to Primeape's evolution will also revert at 10pm local time.

Once the main Community Day event ends, Bonus Raids will appear from 5 to 10pm local time featuring Primeape in four-star Raids. Clearing a raid will cause Mankey to spawn in the area around that Gym for 30-minutes—with the Community Day-boosted Shiny odds too.
