Niantic hasn’t announced any details about plans for May Community Day since the coronavirus situation began, but it seems highly likely that next month will bring another play-from-home safe event to keep players engaged and active while many parts of the world are still either on stay-at-home orders or practicing social distancing. The latest Pokemon GO datamine offers some hints about which Pokemon (singular or plural…) may be featured during the May event.

As always, keep in mind that datamined code is subject to change and no official announcements or confirmation from Niantic has arrived yet. That said, the new datamined source code adds a series of special quests that involve catching six different Pokemon (all of which have yet to receive the Community Day treatment).

In the past, Niantic has frequently disguised Community Day code as “special quests” to help avoid spoilers. The fact that this code isn’t just for one Pokemon makes it much harder to identify as a Community Day spoiler, but it’s possible that Niantic is acting early and adding code for multiple Community Day events or that the devs are adding some red herrings to throw dataminers off their trail.

The Pokemon mentioned in the special quests code are:

Spheal

Weedle

Starly

Seedot

Grimer

Porygon

To get a better understanding of the theory, here’s a look at the datamined source code:

RESOURCE ID: quest_catch_special41_plural

TEXT: Catch {0} Spheal

RESOURCE ID: quest_catch_special42_plural

TEXT: Catch {0} Weedle

RESOURCE ID: quest_catch_special43_plural

TEXT: Catch {0} Starly

RESOURCE ID: quest_catch_special44_plural

TEXT: Catch {0} Seedot

RESOURCE ID: quest_catch_special45_plural

TEXT: Catch {0} Grimer

RESOURCE ID: quest_catch_special46_plural

TEXT: Catch {0} Porygon

The list definitely includes a mix of Pokemon that would be very popular for Community Day and others that would be a complete dud. It will be interesting to see what happens as May rolls in and Niantic announces the official plans for the next Community Day.

At this point, players may want to keep hunting down the best Unova Pokemon in the game if improving their Battle Raid rosters is their primary goal. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
