March 2021 Community Day

The March 2021 Community Day was the thirty-ninth Community Day event, featuring Fletchling.

Featured Pokémon
These Shiny Pokémon were released with the start of the event: PS Fletchling PS Fletchinder PS Talonflame

Fletchling had increased spawn rates in the wild and from Incense or Lure Modules:

There were also five chances per day to be photobombed by Fletchling:

Exclusive move
In order to obtain Incinerate, Trainers had to evolve Fletchinder into Talonflame after the start of event and up to 2 hours after the end of event. Trainers cannot use TMs to obtain the attack.

Field Research event tasks
There were several Field Research tasks exclusively for the duration of the event.

Special Research
The Bravest Bird is a Special Research campaign for Fletchling Community Day. It cost $1 to access the Special Research. The Talonflame in this research would know Incinerate if it was caught during event hours.

Hey there, TRAINER. How’s your day? Personally, mine is going swimmingly. Or perhaps…flappingly? You see, an enormous flock of Fletchling has gathered nearby. I heard some Pokémon chirping up a storm, so I went to investigate and found Fletchling as far as the eye can see! Fletchling is known as the Tiny Robin Pokémon, and it’s typically quite amiable and easy to train. Send it into battle, though, and you’ll quickly see its more ferocious side! A fascinating little Pokémon. But as glad as I am to see it here, it’s quite odd for so many to gather in one place. Would you mind conducting some research so we can better understand what’s going on?

Great work, Trainer. Looks like you’ve got your very own Fletchling to join you on your journey! Did you know that Fletchling’s body is always warm? In fact, Trainers who live in cold areas apparently sleep with this Pokémon in their beds. How about that? I’m always fascinated to learn about how Pokémon and their Trainers work and live together. And it never hurts to know how to cope on cold nights, eh? Anyway, Fletchling evolves into the Fire- and Flying-type Pokémon Fletchinder. Known as the Ember Pokémon, Fletchinder is exceedingly territorial and aggressive. It’s also incredibly fast. Its speed from takeoff puts it easily among the fastest of all bird Pokémon. When you’re ready, why don’t you try evolving your Fletchling into Fletchinder? I’d love to witness that famous speed firsthand!

That’s a mighty fine Fletchinder you have there, TRAINER. Congratulations! Naturally, I’ve been busy as well. In fact, I have some information you may find useful as you train Fletchinder. You see, Fletchinder is known to expel embers from its beak to set grass on fire. Then, it pounces on the bewildered prey that flee the flames. Pretty intense, huh? Best not to wing it during training, if you catch my draft—er, drift. Try not to let any fires Fletchinder starts get out of hand, too. We’re all responsible for caring for our environment, after all! With that said, there are still a few more tasks I’d like you to complete in aid of our research. Chief among those is to obtain a Talonflame, the evolution of Fletchinder. They’re said to have simply magnificent wings! Do you think you could evolve your Fletchinder, Trainer?

Welcome back, TRAINER—and hello, Talonflame! I know I’ve put you through your paces today, but it’s all paid off in the end! You’re now the proud Trainer of Talonflame, the Scorching Pokémon. Talonflame is known to shower embers from the gaps between its feathers during the heat of battle. It then takes to the air, reaching speeds of up to 310 mph. Remember how I mentioned Talonflame’s wings before? Fire can’t pass through them, so they were used to outfit firefighters way back when. Amazing stuff! I’m always impressed by this brave bird. The two of you will no doubt accomplish great things—and at great speeds! Thanks for your help today, Trainer. I hope you had as much fun as I did! Now, let’s GO!
