Ponyta Community Day is happening on Saturday, September 14, from 2-5 p.m. local time. Trainers can expect huge numbers of both Ponyta and Galarian Ponyta spawning for an incredible chance to catch shiny Pokémon. Here’s how to maximize your experience during this event.
How to Catch Shiny Ponyta

Strategies for Bonus Candy
You can Mega Evolve certain Pokémon to get bonus candy from catching Ponyta. For Kantonian Ponyta, consider Mega Evolving fire-types like Charizard or Houndoom. For Galarian Ponyta, psychic-types like Gardevoir are ideal.
Special Four-Star Raids
From 5-10 p.m., participate in special four-star raids. Clearing these will cause Ponyta to spawn in a 300-meter radius around the gym for 30 minutes. Make the most of this opportunity as it can't be done remotely.
