Niantic is continuing to announce new events and content for Pokémon GO on a regular basis. Read on below to learn more:
This Dragon-type Pokémon and its Evolutions are diving tusk-first into event bonuses, four-star raids, and special research.
Axew is breaking, crushing, and crashing its way through Pokémon GO’s June 2023 Community Day on June 10, 2023, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. local time. During that time, this adorable Dragon type will be waddling around more frequently in the wild, and Trainers might even encounter a Shiny Axew—if they’re lucky!
If you evolve Fraxure—Axew’s Evolution—during the event or up to five hours afterward, you’ll get a Haxorus that knows the Charged Attack Breaking Swipe, a move that the Axe Jaw Pokémon was previously unable to learn. Haxorus can be a terrific choice for Raid Battle lineups, and the exciting addition of Breaking Swipe makes it well worth evolving Fraxure.
Stay on tusk with the following bonuses, which will be in effect during event hours.
- 2× Candy for catching Pokémon
- 3× XP for catching Pokémon
- 2× chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL from catching Pokémon
- Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours
- Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) activated during the event will last for three hours
And the following bonuses will stay in effect from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time!
- One additional Special Trade can be made for a maximum of three for the day
- Trades will require 50% less Stardust
Hone your researching skills with the Community Day Special Research Story “Keeping Sharp,” which is available for US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency). And don’t forget that Trainers can purchase tickets for friends that they’ve reached a friendship level of Great Friends or higher with. To give the gift of research, simply tap the “Gift” button instead of the “Buy” button.
Make the most of the Community Day fun with four-star Raid Battles featuring Fraxure from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. After a successful raid, more Axew will appear in the area for 30 minutes. These four-star raids can only be joined in person using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes.
Stay sharp this Community Day, Trainers!

Event Bonuses
Bonus Raid Battles after Community Day
Saturday, June 10, 2023, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time
After the three-hour Community Day event ends, Trainers will be able to challenge unique four-star Raid Battles. Claiming victory in one of these raids will cause more Axew to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes!
Four-star Raid Battles
Fraxure will appear in four-star raids!
You can only join these raids using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these Raid Battles.
Bonus for completing four-star Raid Battles
Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Fraxure, additional Axew will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!*
*Axew that appear under these circumstances will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during June Community Day’s three-hour event period.
Stickers
You’ll be able to get event-themed stickers by spinning PokéStops, opening Gifts, and purchasing them from the in-game shop.
