The long-awaited community day for Axew is finally here and over. It was a nice sunny day spent in a mall around town. The event started at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 10, and ended at 5 p.m. the same day. However, some of the community day bonuses lasted till 10 p.m. local time.
One of the bonuses that lasted till 10 p.m. local time is the amount of special trades we could make. Usually, we could make a maximum of one additional special trade. However, we were able to make four additional special trades. This was a result of the technical issues experienced when trading evolved Pokémon. It was classified as special trade.
We will also be increasing the seasonal bonus from "one additional Special Trade per day" to "three additional Special Trades for a total of four per day" until the issue with trading Pokémon that were evolved in 2023 being miscategorized as a Special Trade is resolved.

So, how was the community day for me?
I was able to keep a record of the stats before and after the community day. Here are they:
| Stats | Before | After | Difference |
| Hundo | 2 | 2 | — |
| Shundo | 0 | 0 | — |
| Candy | 1,725 | 5,648 | 3,923 |
| Candy XL | 280 | 969 | 689 |
| Shiny | 2 | 21 | 19 |
| Seen | 310 | 929 | 619 |
| Caught | 217 | 726 | 509 |
| Lucky | 4 | 8 | 4 |
| Dragon | 8,781 | 9,303 | 522 |
| XXS | 7.03 kg | 2.92 kg | |
| XXL | 28.54 kg | 39.95 kg | |
| Shortest | 0.45 m | 0.29 m | |
| Tallest | 0.74 m | 1 m |
The “After” stats were recorded after I did a few Axew mirror trades. I also have 300+ Axews in my storage that I plan to either mirror trade or transfer.
It was a wholesome event considering the fact that I walked around half of the community day time period.
In addition to the community day, I was able to participate in five shadow raids. I did three Throh, one Sneasel, and two Articuno. I got a shiny shadow Articuno on the first shadow Articuno raid.
