How to prepare for Wooper Community Day event in Pokemon GO

Managing Pokemon Storage

Since you will be getting two featured Pokemon during the event, a larger Pokemon Storage would benefit you to a great extent. The Community Day event will last for three hours, so you should utilize every minute to multiply your resources, like Stardust and Candies.

Make sure you transfer all the unwanted creatures in your Pokemon Storage before you go into the event. You do not want to catch a few creatures and transfer them while playing. To be safe, you should have at least 300 free slots in your Pokemon Storage.


Managing Item Storage

You can delete most of your Berries and make space for Poke Balls. Since you will be catching upwards of 200 Pokemon during the event, you will need a decent amount of Item Storage for Great and Ultra Balls.

As mentioned, we are looking at more than 200 catches during the Community Day event. So, anywhere between 400 and 600 balls would be a comfortable spot for you to sit on.

Ideally, you will want to stack on Great Balls and Ultra Balls. Normal Poke Balls might result in failed catches, and you do not want creatures to escape. So, using Great and Ultra Balls will streamline your process of catching Pokemon and make you more efficient.


Should you use Berries to catch Wooper during the Wooper Community Day in Pokemon GO?

You will not need Pinap Berries during this event as there is a bonus that will give you twice the amount of Candies for catching creatures. You will most likely not require any other Berries as catching Wooper isn’t the hardest task.


Should you use Lures and Incenses during the Wooper Community Day event in Pokemon GO?

Using any type of Lure and Incense during the event will increase the spawn rate of Pokemon around you. This will give you extra amounts of Stardust than you would normally get without the catalysts.


How many Star Pieces should you use during the Wooper Community Day event in Pokemon GO?

Each Star Piece lasts 30 minutes. Since the event will last for three hours, you will need six Star Pieces to give you the extra Stardust on top of the bonus with every catch.
