Gible will have a very high chance of appearing at PokéStops with active regular Lure Modules.

On September 12, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time, Gible attracted to regular Lure Modules will still have an increased chance to be Shiny and may have a Special Background — more chances to encounter the featured Pokémon even after the main event hours.

About this event type
Community Day
