All Sandshrew Pokémon Go Community Day Gritty and Glacial Research tasks and rewards

April 2023 · 2 minute read

Despite some issues with the event’s ticketed portion, the Pokémon Go March Community Day featuring Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew is still on for March 13. The event, which features both regional variants of the Mouse Pokémon, will see Sandshrew spawning more frequently from 11am to 5pm local time. 

If you evolve a Sandshrew into Sandslash during the event or up to two hours after, the Ground-type will know Night Slash. Doing the same with Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash will see the Steel/Ice-type learn Shadow Slash. 

All players can also enjoy 25 percent Egg Hatch distance and the usual three-hour increased duration for Lures and Incense. As expected, a new event-exclusive Field Research and a $1 Special Research story—called Gritty and Glacial—are available. Here are all the research tasks and rewards for both. 

If you’re looking to participate in the event, though, keep in mind that some users are still experiencing issues with the Special Research ticket despite previous errors with payment on Google Play being resolved

Thanks for your patience, Google has assured us that purchases made during the outage should not be charged against your payment method. If you are missing paid items, please retry your purchase or reach out to Google Play Support for additional assistance. https://t.co/ATtP162fRW
