The Community Day Special Research story, Muscle Memories, is available for US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency). Tickets are available in the in-game shop to purchase or to gift.
Make the most of the Community Day fun with four-star Raid Battles featuring Gurdurr from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. After a successful Raid Battle, more Timburr will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes.
