Scorbunny Community Day Recap

The Scorbunny Community Day Recap details my results from the March 2026 Community Day. This is the first Community Day I played actively in a long time. The last one was the December 2025 Community Day. I participated in the January 2026 and the February 2026 Community Days, but not actively.

I reached level 80 in Pokémon GO and decided to take a break from actively participating in events. However, today, I decided to play the Scorbunny Community Day to enjoy the feelings. I went to one of my usual grind locations to play with other friends in the Pokémon GO Community.

Here is the result of my playing the Community Day for 3 hours.

Egg Hatches

One of the bonuses for this Community Day is the 1/4 Egg hatch distance when Eggs are placed in an Incubator during the event period. In addition, if you join a party after checking in to an event hosted by a Community Ambassador, you get an additional 3/4 Egg hatch distance. This results in 3/16 Egg hatch distance per Egg placed in an incubator during the event period.

I was able to hatch 41 Eggs as follows.

• 2 KM Eggs: 6
• 5 KM Eggs: 10
• 7 KM Eggs: 5
• 10 KM Eggs: 15
• 12 KM Eggs: 5

2× Candy for catching Pokémon and 2× chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL from catching Pokémon.

These are part of the event-themed bonus for each Pokémon caught during the event period. Since Scorbunny is the focus of this, that is what we would look at. The table below provides the results of these bonuses.

What do these numbers mean?

• The 4,247 Scorbunny Candy gained means each Scorbunny I caught gave an average of 10 Scorbunny Candy per catch.
• The 822 Scorbunny Candy XL means an average of 2 Scorbunny Candy XL per catch.
• The 728 Scorbunny Seen means I saw a 47.33 percent increase in Scorbunny during the Community Day. This further means I saw 47.33 percent more Scorbunny than I have ever seen before the Community Day.
• The 446 Scorbunny Caught means I had a 61.26 percent Scorbunny catch rate during the Community Day. This further means that 282 Scorbunny (i.e., 38.74 percent) ran from me during the Community Day.

Other gains from Scorbunny Community Day

The previous gains were based on the most important event-themed bonuses. The following gains are based on the actual Scorbunny caught during the Community Day.

• Scorbunny with Special Background: 23

• Shiny Scorbunny without Special Background: 19
• Perfect Scorbunny: 1
