Community Events is where players can get a chance to enjoy an increased drop of a future Pokemon, along with its shiny version. It usually lasts for six hours, giving most players enough time to participate. Niantic confirmed that March features Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew. Previously only available through eggs, Alolan Sandshrew makes his debut with many Gen 7 featured Pokemon.
The date set by Niantic for the March Community day is March 13, 2022, Sunday. It will run from 11 am to 5 pm local time.
