May 2026 Community Day Classic: Deino

Deino will appear more frequently in the wild.*

Evolve Zweilous during the event period to obtain a Hydreigon with the exclusive Charged Attack Brutal Swing.

You can evolve Zweilous (Deino’s Evolution) from the start of the event until May 16, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. local time to get a Hydreigon that knows Brutal Swing.

Brutal Swing

• Trainer Battles: 55 power
• Gyms and raids: 65 power

For US$1.99 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), Trainers can access the Deino Community Day Classic–exclusive Special Research.

Complete this Special Research to earn additional rewards, including the following:

• 3 encounters with Deino with a Special Background
• Additional encounters with Deino
• 1 Premium Battle Pass
• 1 Rare Candy XL
• And more rewards

Deino will appear more frequently at PokéStops with active Lure Modules after the event.

On May 16, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time, Deino will have a very high chance of appearing at PokéStops with active regular Lure Modules.

Deino attracted to Lure Modules will still have an increased chance to be Shiny and may have a Special Background.

This provides additional opportunities to encounter the featured Pokémon even after the main event hours.

May Community Day Classic–themed Field Research will be available during the event.

Catch Deino to complete Field Research tasks and earn rewards such as Stardust, Great Balls, and additional encounters with Deino.

Some Field Research tasks may even reward encounters with Deino that have a Special Background—if you’re lucky.
