Recent Pokémon Update: Go Gamer Achieves First-Ever Shiny Jirachi, Fans Propose Solutions for Community Day Concerns

Guess what? The first-ever Shiny Jirachi in Pokémon Go is now caught! One player just finished the Masterwork Research task super fast.

Instead of asking Niantic for longer Community Days, players found a neat trick. They want to use an item to start it whenever they want.

Also, Niantic took away a Boost Box deal that was too good. Now, players who missed it are really unhappy.

First Shiny Jirachi caught!

Catching a Shiny Jirachi in Pokémon Go is tough. You need to beat a lot of hard tasks during the Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn.

These tasks are so tough, it could take years to finish. Yet, one player did it fast and caught Shiny Jirachi in a sure encounter.

People are praising the player for their fast work. They did it almost as fast as you can, which is crazy.

Better Community Days

Pokémon Go’s Community Days are short, from 2pm to 5pm. People who are busy often miss out.

Instead of just longer events, fans suggest using an item to start Community Days. This idea gives everyone a chance to join in.

This solution could help as players get older and busier. It makes playing easier for everyone.

Boost Boxes gone too soon

Boost Boxes in Pokémon Go came out in January. They had things like Incubators and Raid Passes for cheap.

People liked these deals, especially the super cheap ones. But not everyone could get them, which was a bit unfair.

The last Boost Boxes were a steal for just 399 PokéCoins. It had lots of cool stuff, but vanished quickly.

Niantic removed it after a few hours. Those quick to buy were lucky. Others are mad they missed such a cool deal.
