Best tips for the Pokemon GO Bounsweet Community Day event

The Catching Wonders event will be active during the current Community Day. This means you can enjoy the bonuses of this event in conjunction with the Community Day event spoils.

You will receive 10x XP and 5x Stardust for the first Pokemon catch of the day. Coupled with that, you will get 10x XP for the first PokeStop spin of the day. So, during the Pokemon GO Community Day event, it is advisable not to catch any monsters or spin any stops till the proceedings start. This is to prevent the wastage of Lucky Eggs and Star Pieces.

You can activate the premium items during the Community Day event and get the bonuses with those from Catching Wonders. You can also use Origin Dialga's adventure effect — Roar of Time — to pause the timer on the premium items if you want to use them at the start of the day.

If you are walking through an area with low Pokemon spawns, use Incenses to increase the flow of monsters during this event. This will earn you more Stardust and XP. It will also increase your odds of getting Shiny monsters. Using multiple Incense during the Community Day event will stack the timers for every Incense used.
