How to catch a shiny Jangmo-o in Pokémon Go

Looking for a shiny? Jangmo-o will appear much more frequently during Community Day, and your odds of finding a shiny are way higher than usual. According to research from the now-defunct The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shiny rate on Community Days is about 1 in 24. So, if you play actively during the three-hour window, you’ve got a really solid shot at scoring a shiny or two!

Short on time or running low on Poké Balls? Use an Incense and quickly tap each Jangmo-o you see. If it’s not shiny, just move on to the next. A cool tip: any Jangmo-o you’ve already checked will face your character, so you won’t waste time double-checking the same one.

Special Community Day Move: Clanging Scales

If you evolve Hakamo-o into Kommo-o between June 21, 2 p.m. and June 28, 10 p.m. (local time), your Kommo-o will learn the exclusive charged move Clanging Scales. Missed the window? Don’t stress! You’ll get another chance during December’s Community Day weekend, or you can use an Elite TM if you really can’t wait.

Is Kommo-o worth powering up?

Let’s be real: for raids and gyms (PvE), Kommo-o just doesn’t stack up to top-tier dragons like Garchomp, Salamence, or Dragonite. If you want pure power, stick with those or grab a legendary like Rayquaza or Black Kyurem. But for PvP, especially in Ultra League, Kommo-o with Clanging Scales is a serious contender. The best combo? Dragon Tail, Clanging Scales, and Close Combat.

All the Community Day bonuses you can get

This event isn’t just about catching Jangmo-o! Here’s what else you can enjoy during the Community Day hours:

3x XP for catching Pokémon
2x Candy for catching Pokémon
2x chance for XL Candy (trainers level 31+)
Incense and Lure Modules last for 3 hours
Jangmo-o will photobomb your snapshots
One extra special trade
50% less Stardust cost for trades

Pro tips for making the most of Jangmo-o Community Day

Pop a Lucky Egg and Incense to maximize your XP and encounters. Want even more Jangmo-o Candy? Mega Evolve Pokémon like Charizard X, Ampharos, Sceptile, Altaria, Salamence, Latias, Latios, Rayquaza, or Garchomp for a sweet bonus per catch.

Don’t forget about the “Community Day Continued” Timed Research available until June 28. Complete these tasks for extra Jangmo-o (some with themed backgrounds!) and keep that boosted shiny rate going even after the main event.

So, whether you’re chasing shinies, powering up your PvP team, or just want some extra XP, Jangmo-o Community Day is one you won’t want to miss!
