PoGO – Pokémon Go: Community Day in May 2021 - Fluffy Cotton Wings Guide

Pokémon Go Community Day will be celebrated on May 15, 2021, and this time the attention of trainers will be focused on Wablu, with whom you can float on cloud nine. Altaria learns the attack Moon Violence, Mega Altaria comes and there is a special research called “Fluffy Cotton Wings”. See the guide for steps and rewards to Cotton-Winged Bird and all the other information.

Pack your Pokéballs tighter, because on May 15, 2021, between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time, Pokémon Go is once again hosting a Community Day. This time, the focus is on the normal and flying Pokémon Wablu, which you can of course also find as a Shiny if you’re lucky. For this purpose, an evolved Altaria will learn the attack Moon Force between 11:00 and 19:00. After the end of the event, Mega Altaria will also make its first appearance in Pokémon Go. And if that wasn’t enough, eggs will hatch four times as fast as usual during the Community Day event – but only if the eggs were placed in the hatching machines starting at 11:00 am!

All information about the Community Day with Wablu can be found below – and also a first guide to the special research “Cotton-Winged Bird” (as much as cotton wing, there is no official translation yet), which can be bought for 0.99 Euro. We are still adjusting the steps and rewards in time for the event, if there are any adjustments.

Update from May 15, 2021: The special research that you can buy in the Pokémon Go store is called “Fluffy Cotton Wings”. We have updated the steps and rewards for you. This time there is no guaranteed growl, but there is an egg incubator.

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
