OK, so today is the regular Community Day edition of the month since there was a Classic one early on in the month (and a major one, at that). What is also major, though, is the fact that Community Day for this month and the next month has already had its featured Pokémon decided at around that time. Next month will be dealt accordingly - and that's where and when the story will be told - but this month is to be dealt with today. For that, the story is watery and somewhat showy, which might be a good thing depending on the situation.
This month's featured Pokémon is the unique Quaxly, the Water-type starter (or first partner) Pokémon from Paldea and the ninth generation. It completes the circle of the starters that are (were) featured this year. Given that fact, its fully evolved form (Quaquaval, from Quaxwell) has to get the Hydro Cannon move, which it does - and the Charged move Aqua Step is made available as well. The main bonus for this edition is triple catch Stardust, once again something useful for those out there who are always hungry for this resource.
As for the remaining bonuses, they're the standard cavalcade from past and present editions. Those would be double Candy and Candy XL chance, extended Lure Modules and Incense, discounted trades and an extra Special Trade, event item bundles, and photo bombs, as well as common and rare Field Research, paid Special Research, and background Timed Research. Not much more needs to be said about them with them being the usual ones for a Community Day of usual proportions as well.
With that, I have to say this edition of Community Day for me personally also involved another set of hands for its execution...
Me: ...so we go into "talk mode" for that.
Goh: Hmm, Quaxly, huh? Water starter from Paldea, you say.
Me: Sure. I hear it works out for a particular Trainer.
Ash: I might just meet that Trainer!
Me: You might, but that could depend on a lot of things.
Goh: So, where did Ash go for this one?
Ash: I stopped by the new usual place, but just for a bit.
Goh: It must be a side agenda from something our friend also asked you to do.
Me: Um... yeah. We'll deal with that very soon. Anyhow...
Ash: You didn't have many Quaxly, so I caught a lot more for you - with two perfect ones!
Me: Awesome! That helps immensely. I'll deal with the rest over this week.
Ash: And I traded two Inteleon with that could go G-Max with a friend of yours.
Goh: That sounds neat! Did that work out?
Ash: Only one had really good stats, so I guess it did.
Me: Very nice!
Ash: After that, I went back to that "something".
Goh: OK, this one has to be neat too.
Ash: Sure!
Me: Again, details very soon.
Quaxly can be said to be a "dapper" Pokémon, and the title of the Special Research set today ("A Splash of Style") very much reflects that. Its fully evolved form is also a rather flaunty dancer of sorts. Perhaps most Trainers who partook in today's Community Day festivities will have no trouble flaunting off at least a few of what they could catch.
