The Sandshrew Community Day event in Pokemon Go will commence on Sunday, March 13, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. Players can enjoy a three-hour lure and grab the event bonuses during this time frame.

Event Bonuses

A bundle containing 30 Ultra Balls will be available in the shop at no cost. Be sure to pick it up during the event.

Will Shiny Sandshrew appear during the event?

Yes, Niantic has confirmed that players will also encounter a Shiny Sandshrew during the Sandshrew Community Day.

Normally, the odds behind the appearance of any Shiny Pokemon is approximately 1 in 500. However, during this community day event, Shiny Sandshrew might appear 1 in 25 times as per The Silph Road report.

So Trainers should definitely roam around a couple of hours if they always wanted to include a Shiny variant of Sandshrew to their Pokemon collection.
