Pokémon GO

The latest Community Day took place on Sunday, and it featured Beldum. Unfortunately, the event suffered from major issues in Asia. To apologise for this, Niantic has announced that an additional Community Day featuring Beldum would be held at a later date, though only for that region. More details will be shared soon.
