March Community Day’s Featured Pokémon will be Fletchling!

With the Kanto event right around the corner, Pokemon GO players have a whole lot to look forward to, but that hasn’t stopped Niantic from announcing the March Community Day featured Pokemon for March 6th, 2021. After lots of fan backlash over previous Community Day choices, Niantic is finally offering a newer Pokemon who’s shiny variant has not be introduced to the game yet.

And that Pokemon is Fletchling, the dual-type Normal/Flying Pokemon introduced in Generation VI of the series.

Honestly not the most exciting Community Day, but as a fan of the series, it is refreshing that March Community Day does feature a new shiny Pokemon and a Community Day move that is seemingly useful. For more details, check out Pokemon GO‘s blog post or following them on Twitter.
