Niantic is bringing yet another Community Day for March 2022 to Pokemon GO. The March Community Day features Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokémon, both simultaneously. It’s an excellent chance for trainers to catch Shiny versions of both of them as the chances are high on a Community Day. They can also evolve to learn the event-exclusive moves and take advantage of in-game bonuses. So for you to get things ready, here is everything you need to know.
Date + Time
Sunday, March 13, 2022, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM [local time].
It is a six-hour time frame. But, you can still get an exclusive move with evolution until up to two hours afterward, that is 7:00 PM [local time].
Featured Pokémon
The Ground-type Pokémon Sandshew and the Ice and Steel-type Pokémon Alolan Sandshrew are the featured Pokémon of March Community Day 2022. Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew will appear more frequently in the wild during the event. If you’re lucky, you may get a chance to encounter a Shiny Sandshrew ✨ and/or Shiny Alolan Sandshrew ✨. It’s an excellent opportunity for trainers to catch better and/or Shiny versions of both.

If you evolve Sandshrew into Sandslash in the event time or up to two hours afterward, the Pokémon evolves knowing the Ultimate Charged Dark-type Exclusive Move – Night Slash.
If you evolve Alolan Sandshrew into Alolan Sandslash in the event time or up to two hours afterward, the Pokémon evolves knowing the Ultimate Charged Ghost-type Exclusive Move – Shadow Claw.
Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew will be rolling in for March’s #PokemonGOCommunityDay on March 13!
