Pokemon Go players who want a Metagross will be in luck this August, thanks to the upcoming Beldum Community Day Classic event.
On August 7, Niantic officially confirmed Beldum would headline the next Community Day Classic for Pokemon Go after the developer teased it on social media.
The upcoming event, set for mid-August, will allow trainers to catch many Beldum. And, those who fully evolve a Beldum will receive a Metagross with the highly powerful Charged Move, Meteor Mash.
Here’s what Pokemon Go players should know about the Beldum Community Day Classic, including the date and bonuses.
