Pokémon Go Mankey Community Day Research Guide

Pokémon Go’s next Community Day event is just around the corner and having Mankey in the spotlight is great for both casual and PvP players.

On November 10th from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, you’ll be able to encounter Mankey more often while playing Pokémon Go. Additionally, if you manage to evolve Mankey into a Primeape and Annihilape during or immediately after the event, he will also receive an exclusive move.

If you’re planning on attending Pokémon Go’s Mankey Community Day in November, here’s all the content you can access too, including all event bonuses and exclusive content like Raid Battles and Special Research.

Most of these Pokémon Go Community Day bonuses are only available during the event from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

During this event or before 10:00 p.m. local time on November 10th, a Mankey will gain access to the Charged Attack Rage Fist by evolving into Primeape and Annihilape. Additionally, you can evolve Primeape into Annhilape after catching 20 Fighting-type Pokémon with Primeape as your sidekick, instead of having to first defeat 30 Ghost or Psychic-type Pokémon in a battle.

This is the best and easiest way to train a strong Annihilape for PvP and raid battles. This time-limited change to Primeape’s development will also be reverted at 10 p.m. local time.

Once the Community Day main event ends, bonus raids will appear with Primeape in four-star raids from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time. Completing a raid results in Mankey spawning in the area around that arena for 30 minutes – even with the increased shiny chances from Community Day.

During Mankey Community Day, you can purchase a $1 Research Ticket to unlock access to the exclusive Mankey Business special research. Here you will find all the tasks and rewards associated with the paid research, so you can decide whether you want to take advantage of them or not.
