It's time for a certain little ball of grass and feathers to get its time to shine! Rowlett is the Grass Type starter from Alola/Generation 7, and it's finally time for it to take the spotlight. And we all know what this means; Decidueye is finally getting access to Frenzy Plant. And more than that, it's also getting its Signature Move from the Main Series as well, adding a decidedly ghostly air to this event.
| Event Start | Event End | Special Move Window End |
|---|---|---|
| 2:00 p.m. local time | 5:00 p.m. local time | 10:00 p.m. local time |
- Rowlett will spawn en-masse and with a greatly increased Shiny rate
- Any Dartrix evolved during event hours or up to 5 hours after will result in a Decidueye that knows Frenzy Plant.

- 3x Catch Stardust, 2x Catch Candy, and 2x odds of catch XL Candy for players Lv.31+
- +1 Special Trade for the day, and 50% Trade Stardust discount
- Lure Modules and Incense will last for 3 hours if activated during event hours
- A set number of snapshots will result in Rowlett Photobombs
- Dartrix will be available as a Four Star Raid Boss after Community Day ends. These raids can only be joined in person, and completing one will cause Rowlett to spawn at Community Day levels around the gym where the Dartrix Raid was completed for 30 minutes.
- Community Day themed Research and Pokestop Showcases will be available.
- A $1.00 Paid Research line will be available in the shop
